      Chapter 1. History and Principles of Clinical Psychology

      Before we can see the evolution of clinical psychology through time, we need to take into account it belongs to a branch of psychology, science that came from experimental area thanks to researches laboratory of psychophysiological processes of Wilhelm Wundt in the second half of nineteenth century.

      This doesn’t mean that there has not been realized previously any studies or observations in the psychological area or even in clinical psychology itself, but has been done from other sciences as philosophy, anthropology or medicine, but all without a base or explanative model that sustained it.

      From this first psychology laboratory begin to surge worried investigators about this new field bringing data, experiences and theories trying to realize that until now had been denominated as mind and was previously consider as pseudoscience in many scientific circles.

      Nowadays, thanks to advances made in psychometry, neurology and other sciences has been proven and observed the phenomenon descripted by psychology, confirming or refuting explaining theories in present time.

      About mental health, there had been made greatest advances incorporating the scientific method in observations and the applied treatment, where besides of the merely physical aspects (signs) its also consider people altogether (symptoms).

      Many approaches were made in the first moments of clinical psychology rising that tried to come to a realization of the origin and more adequate treatment, which is the case of the mesmerize of Franz Mésmer, who made the base of actual Clinical Hypnosis.

      About that time emerged the so-called Medical Anthropology, who developed the biographic pathology term that later would be retaken, which indicates pathologies could be apprehended and understood if the patient’s biography is attended.

      This way, patient’s intimacy is incorporated to medical procedures, which till this moment, hadn’t been considered, like his unsatisfied passions, conflicts and tensions; either way is established that doctor-patient’s relationship should have in mind more to the symptomatology of a person and not much to the signs.

      One of the theories that have reach till now is Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis, which has evolved in what has been called as psychoanalytic schools having a different conception on approaching to mental illness:

      -  A school from Paris, emerges to realize there are some phenomenon that doesn’t fit with conversion hysteria nor neurosis because of a lack of mentalization of psychosomatic pathologies that prevents psychical expression of conflicts; which makes that a somatization process goes from being psychic to physical without having a component that provides a symbolic part, which differentiate clearly from conversion symptoms.

      -  Chicago’s school where reigns studies of personality traits’ theories, searching psychological profiles that appear to suffer a psychosomatic disease. For this, its bear in mind the personal
