| Sumario: | [EN] Starting from Roy Porter’s proposal on the history of medicine from the patient’s point of view, formulated forty years ago, this article aims to analyze the development of this historiographical approach applied to the narratives of people subjected to psychiatric treatment. This subject of study has been intensively cultivated in recent decades, incorporating new questions, previously little-explored sources, and original interpretive resources, compared to traditional psychiatric history. After a conceptual clarification exercise regarding these aspects and the very notion of madness, attention is given to the most recent contributions on the experience of hospitalization, studies on women and madness, and mental health activism from a historical perspective. It is concluded that today, in this “history from below,” various academic, intellectual, and cultural traditions converge, requiring interdisciplinary dialogues and transversal methodologies that both enrich and problematize studies on madness. |
