Abstract | |
The psychological ideas were introduced in Rio Grande do Sul with the foundation of the Medicine School (1898) and the Law School (1900). This thesis aimed to describe the psychological ideas in these two schools and to establish the relationship between psychology and others realms of knowledge in the Rio Grande do Sul. The libraries of Medicine School and Law School, the historical archives of Porto Alegre and Rio Grande do Sul were investigated. The books and the thesis founded were enlisted by their origin, time of publication and thematic areas. The research at the historical archives helped to describe the socio-cultural framework where the schools were developed trough the analysis of legislation and newspapers. All documents were analyzed by History of Psychological Ideas and History of Science theories. Six categories were identified: Psychological ideas and hygiene conceptions in Rio Grande do Sul", Mental health conceptions and Psychiatry in the Rio Grande do Sul", Criminology, identity and behavior at sul-rio-grandense society", Public health and childhood care: First experiences in school hygiene", Diagnosis strategies and mental health treatment on Neurology and Psychiatry perspectives", The relationship between man and environment: First experiences in the application of psychosomatic theory in Rio Grande do Sul". The results were a panorama of psychological ideas in Rio Grande do Sul between 1890 and 1950. (AU) |
