ABSTRACT
The so-called practice of healing has been crossed by the vicissitudes of the sciences since its origins. It requires the resolution of a series of anthropological, therapeutic and social issues connected to each other, which are crossed by history, place and time. Each medical record has the occasional content of scientific knowledge about the subject at that specific time. Among the different medical documents, the first well-characterized clinical histories are those found in the Corpus Hippocraticum. In the study of the vicissitudes that medical records have gone through from the first Hippocratic model to those used in Argentina in the first thirty years of the 20th century, multiple models have been found. The European models of clinical histories were the ones that influenced the local medical-psychiatric thought of the time (1900-1930). In the specific case of pathological thinking, there were three dominant orientations: anatomoclinical, pathophysiological and etiological. The collection of sources allowed us to identify four designs of clinical histories used in the Buenos Aires Frenopathic Institute between 1900 and 1930. They have been analyzed structurally in order to delimit the medical mentality present in them.REFERENCES
