Abstract

At present, new historical conditions make Mental Health a topic of growing concern both at the level of public policy and theoretical orientations. In the context of current changes, social policies, and health policies in particular, are transformed into the redefinition of the functions of the State. For this reason, we intend to analyze the avatars and social, political, cultural and economic contexts, through which the formulations and applications of public policies in mental health have gone through in the history of Argentina, taking as a period from: the professionalization of the Psychology from 1954 until the formulation of the Mental Health Law in 2010. To thus historicize the vicissitudes and implications that arose in this period. Thus history helps us with what is presented as conflicting within our field, but also what appears as unquestionable.
