Abstract

TIZON, Jorge L.. Research and teaching in Mental Health (II): is there any future for the "Consultant Centered Care" and the clinical point of view?. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2001, n.78, pp.73-101. ISSN 2340-2733.

Paper begins with an epistemological reflection on psychotherapy research and a description of areas, methods and condition ants for its future. Sorne shunts of Bambi's perspective and Godzilla's perspective are described. Sorne illustrative examples are considered: the sanctification of "managed care", the Utah effect on marketing of new neuroleptics and antidepressants, the meta-analysis negative results about ECT, the positive but almost unknown effects of sorne elementary psychological techniques on severe disorders care and on puerperal depression, the negative results of sorne "contra cultural" techniques... To end, a series of integrative proposals for research and teaching in mental health are developed --with the common objective to avoid the sectarian and dogmatic trends almost habitual in that field.

Keywords : Research; Continuous Training; Teaching; Mental Health; Clinical Thought; Psychopathology; Psychiatry; Sanitary Care; Psychological Techniques; Psychotherapy.
