Este artigo aborda, em perspectiva hist&oacute;rica, o modo como a insanidade foi sendo constru&iacute;da e desconstru&iacute;da, na cultura ocidental, entre a antiguidade e a &eacute;poca contempor&acirc;nea. A autora enfatiza a rela&ccedil;&atilde;o inst&aacute;vel entre representa&ccedil;&otilde;es culturais contradit&oacute;rias de estigma, m&iacute;stica, brutalidade e marginaliza&ccedil;&atilde;o (por exemplo, a &lsquo;Nave dos Loucos&rsquo;) e, por outro lado, o lento desenvolvimento de perspectivas propriamente psicol&oacute;gicas e de profiss&atilde;o m&eacute;dica que conduziram hoje &agrave; fecunda interac&ccedil;&atilde;o entre cl&iacute;nica, farmacologia e psican&aacute;lise. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: ScalaSans; color: #231f20; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Summary </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 8.0pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: ScalaSans; color: #231f20; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The work of Michel Foucault on the history of insanity and confinement opened up not only a theme of research, in the contemporary analytical practice, but properly a new epistemological field on disease, power, reason and difference. This article approaches, in historical perspective, the way as insanity was constructed and deconstructed, in the Western culture, between antiquity and the contemporary age. The author emphasizes the unstable relationship between contradictory cultural representations of stigma, mystique, brutality and marginalization (for example, the &lsquo;Ship of Fools&rsquo;) and, on the other hand, the gradual development, in scientific terms, of psychological perspectives and orientations of medical profession which lead today to fecund interaction between clinic, farmacology and psychoanalysis.</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> <span lang="PT"></span></span></p> <!--EndFragment--></p> ER -
