Abstract

LAZARO, José. The centenary of two Castillas del Pino: the intellectual and the Psychiatrist. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2023, vol.43, n.144, pp.275-286.  Epub Jan 15, 2024. ISSN 2340-2733.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0211-57352023000200015.

On the occasion of Carlos Castilla del Pino's centenary (15 October 2022), we analyse the relationship between his two public facets: the psychiatric and the intellectual. A chronological review of his publications clearly shows four stages that oscillate between those two poles: they begin as purely psychiatric (1946-66), then move towards essays (1966-71), psychiatry again predominates (1971-87) and finally he opts for literary-memoiristic essays (1989-2010). The analysis of Castilla del Pino's reception by academic psychiatry (hostile) and by the progressive intelligentsia (enthusiastic), together with some personal testimonies, just illustrate these two facets of his personality.

Keywords : Castilla del Pino; psycho(patho)logy; jealousy; intellectuality; essay; history.
