The contributions of Professor Armando Roa to Chilean psychiatry Biographical historical article. A descriptive study of the History of Medicine. Secondary historical source. The transitional model between assylay and communitary psychiatry. Professor Armando Roa had an original conception of the clinical-phenomenological method of investigation in clinical psychiatry, differing from that applied in European clinical studies. Considering that the psychiatrist must rely on clinical facts, the generic features of symptoms must be studied and the way a symptom is lived must be specified. In this way, Professor Roa made five descriptions of normal and pathological anxiety, obsessions, phobias, autism, larvate psychical forms of epilepsy, primitive perception of reference, psychopathy, and anorexia nervosa. He created the concepts of communicative and indicative language, destroyed thinking and unwillingness in schizophrenics, notifying language in neurotics and awareness and the notion of disease. He also made a new classification of alcoholics. (11)

The first 5-year period of the Casa de Orates offers an overview to understand the dynamics of social and political transformation under the wing of hygiene and the development of industrial society, but always from the construction of the category of subalterns, which is also structured through starting from specific subcategories such as gender and social class, a relevant aspect to understand the internal dynamics of the use of resources and space of those who inhabited that place.
