NEVES DE MUNOZ, Pedro Felipe. Towards the Experimental and Laboratorial Psychiatry: The Constitution of a German-Brazilian Community in Mental Medicine (1900-1914). Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2014, vol.13, n.spe5, pp.1967-1981. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy13-5.ppel.

This article analyzes the formation of a transnational community in which Brazilian and German psychiatrists provided intense scientific exchanges, especially after World War I. In Germany, Emil Kraepelin (1856-1926) gave new directions for the psychiatric research and established a model of production of the psychological and neuropsychiatric knowledge with various scientific specialties. In Brazil, as physicians Juliano Moreira (18731933) and Ulysses Vianna (1880-1935) were responsible of the reception of kraepelian's program, as well as the circulation of physicians, knowledge and institutional models across the two countries. This research highlighted that mental medicine establishes a new form of production of scientific knowledge, with emphasis on laboratory and closer to the biological and experimental bias.

Keywords : history of medicine; circulation of Kraepelin; Brazil-Germany.
