LOPEZ FRAILE, Pilar  y  HERRERA LOPEZ, Sergio. Children and mental health in spain: 20th century and today. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2013, vol.33, n.117, pp.95-111. ISSN 2340-2733.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0211-57352013000100007.

This work deals with a historical review of children in our country in its educational, social and sanitary side, deeper into the history and characteristics of the public attention to the mental health of our children. As in any historical reflection in this work underlyes a theoretical conception on the phenomenon under study, whereas a worthy assistance to minors is essential for prevention in mental health of the adult. Despite the different areas for improvement (unequal regional development, insufficient staffing budget, lack of effective implementation of law...), one can conclude that the situation of practical vulnerability of children with mental disorder in the early 20th century has given way to a health care network that gives a comprehensive and free care to the entire population.

Palabras clave : child mental health; childhood; public assistance.
