| description | This article examines the ways in which particular relationships are configured in the consumption of certain discourses about the mental health of Medellín’s habitants, from the 1950s onwards. In doing so, the article replicates the regulations of the WHO, from 1946 onwards, which began to emphasize an optimal psychosomatic state of health. For this reason, the author is interested in highlighting the construction of meaning taken in a certain type of publications, which attempted to foment, in their readers, a need to invoke the authority of psychiatrists and psychoanalysts. This was done as a means of conserving emotional balance in an urban environment that was increasingly dilated. |
