La afirmación ampliamente aceptada de que el diagnóstico es el resultado de un juicio clínico, será discutida. A través de un estudio de caso llevado a cabo en un hospital de Barcelona, propondremos que el diagnóstico psiquiátrico no es unicamente el resultado de un juicio clínico, sino también de una traducción psicofarmacológica. Haciendo uso de la teoría del actor-red y de la noción de objetos frontera desarrollada por Star y Griesemer (1989), sostenemos que los psicofármacos como objetos frontera actúan como los mediadores centrales en la gestión del conocimiento, estableciendo el ensamblaje semiótico-material del diagnóstico.PDFapplication/pdfengPontificia Universidad Javerianahttp://revistas.javeriana.edu.co/index.php/revPsycho/article/view/10744/13446Universitas Psychologica; Vol. 14, Núm. 5 (2015); 1821-1832psicología; psicología socialdiagnóstico psiquiátrico; biomedicine; objetos frontera; psicofármacospsychology; social psychologypsychiatric diagnosis; biomedicine; boundary objects; psychotropic drugsThe Stabilization of Psychiatric Diagnosis: Psychotropic Drugs as Boundary ObjectsLa estabilización del diagnóstico psiquiátrico: los psicofármacos como objetos fronterahttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Artículo de revistahttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/article10554/32940oai:repository.javeriana.edu.co:10554/329402023-03-29 14:26:57.829Repositorio Institucional - Pontificia Universidad Javerianarepositorio@javeriana.edu.co
