Antropología clínica: entre la Filosofía de la Psiquiatría y las Ciencias Humanas

Abstract

The terms “Psycho-logy”, “Psycho-pathology”, “Psychiatry” speaks us, considering Greek etymology, about the Platonic Dualism that distinguishes a rational psyche opposed to a body-jail - tomb of the soul, where a “logic of the separation” will become a “logic of the disjunction”, where the “world of ideas” represents the reason while “sensible world” translates the deviation, the madness. Through various oppositions, it shows the need for a globalizing environment that allows joining the social and/or human sciences with the biological sciences. Exactly, the clinical Anthropology constitutes a new disciplinary space that analyzes forms of subjectivation and of the suffering human, in their plurality of dimensions and “directions of sense”. It is not deal with a sub-discipline of Anthropology, or Medicine. Although it is initially rooted in Philosophy, Anthropology and phenomenological Psychopathology, and is close to a Philosophy of Psychiatry or an Epistemology of Psychiatry, or a reflexive and philosophical Psychopathology, its prospects are larger up to constitute an own interdisciplinary field.
