Resumen

CONSEGLIERI, Ana  y  BAQUERO, Miriam. Psychiatrization of female sexuality: regarding the testimonies and clinical histories of women in the Leganés Asylum in the 1939-1952 period. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2021, vol.41, n.140, pp.209-229.  Epub 14-Mar-2022. ISSN 2340-2733.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0211-57352021000200011.

In the present work, we investigate the written accounts of women interned in the old Leganés National Asylum in Spain during the first years of Franco´s regime. We analyze, under a critical feminist reading, the voices of both psychiatrists present at those times and the female inmates themselves, since both voices coexist in the material studied. Thus, we intend to outline how women´s sexuality was pathologized, as well as any other role that was taken outside the role of mother, woman of the house, or woman of consecrated life. This model of female identity that was imposed in those times was consolidated mainly through education, legal framework, and psychiatry. And this is evidenced in the writings that we have rescued, as well as in the research work on which we base our work.

Palabras clave : spanish postwar; feminism; subjectivity; Leganés Asylum; female sexuality; patient's view.
