Through analysis of a case study conducted in a Barcelona hospital, it will be suggested that psychiatric diagnosis is not only the result of clinical assessment, but also of psychotropic drugs translation.

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.Pontificia Universidad JaverianaFundación Carolinanull2018-02-24T16:04:11Z2020-04-15T18:26:59Z2018-02-24T16:04:11Z2020-04-15T18:26:59Z2016-06-29http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Artículo de revistahttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPDFapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.javeriana.edu.co/index.php/revPsycho/article/view/1074410.11144/Javeriana.upsy14-5.spdp2011-27771657-9267http://hdl.handle.net/10554/32940enghttp://revistas.javeriana.edu.co/index.php/revPsycho/article/view/10744/13446Universitas Psychologica; Vol. 14, Núm. 5 (2015); 1821-1832Copyright (c) 2016 Universitas PsychologicaAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2reponame:Repositorio Universidad Javerianainstname:Pontificia Universidad Javerianainstacron:Pontificia Universidad Javeriana2023-03-29T19:26:57Z
