This paper reviews José Luis Montoya Rico´s work, a psychiatrist in the Oviedo, A Coruña and Alicante charitable provincial hospitals. During the final years of Franco's dictatorship, Montoya wrote and advised the first reform plans of the “La Cadellada” and Conxo provincial mental hospitals. Montoyas’ work offers an overview of mental health care in Spain and contextualizes the professional reception of the therapeutic community during that period.

Keywords : psychiatric public assistance; health benefit plans; charities; therapeutic community.
