La psiquiatría del primer franquismo: una historia del olvido de la salud mental.

In this research we present an approach to the change of mentality regarding mental illness advocated in the works of early Francoist psychiatrists such as Antonio Vallejo-Nágera or Juan José López Ibor. Their ideas, publications and research offered the regime the possibility of modifying the lists of inmates of the psychiatric institutions of the time, whose beds began to be occupied by people from prisons, military hospitals or the streets, with the aim of subjecting them to treatments and medications to modify behaviors and attitudes identified by Franco's psychiatric knowledge as being far from "correct" and "normal".
