The present work analyzes the procedure of emergence of the concept of madness as a mental disease in the light of the development of the psychiatrist ideas and of their necessary relationship with society both in England and France, which constituted two of the essential cornerstones of this trend of thought in Europe in the 19th century. A comprehension is sought of both the processes of institutional character and of scientific development, as well as of the contribution brought forward by these two factors to the emergence of a new way of understanding «madness» and its treatment.
