AMARAL, Vanessa Ferraz do. Schizophrenia: from dementia praecox to the contemporary considerations. Vínculo [online]. 2014, vol.11, n.2, pp. 19-30. ISSN 1806-2490.

As a starting point this paper defines the etymology of the word Dementia Praecox. Permeates a little of our historic desire to explain where we came from and where we're going. Brings several contributions in the Schizophrenia, from it's semantic origin to the view of "this kind of madness" as a heterogeneous field. Considers bases of current discussions in the field as well as in the pathology of other Psychiatric Disorders, drawing on the contributions of Psychoanalysis to elucidate a tangible way to understand this psychosis.

Palavras-chave : Psychoanalysis; Dementia Praecox; schizophrenia; DSM-V; psychosis.
