Moreau de Tours: organicism and subjectivity. Part 2: Moreau as psychopathologist *

Abstract

These two articles analyse the importance of J.J. Moreau de Tours’ work and its influence on the development of descriptive psychopathology from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. The first article focused on biographical aspects and presented Moreau’s main works in their social and cultural contexts. This second article critically analyses Moreau’s contributions from different perspectives: epistemological, psychopathological, clinical, therapeutic, and it also discusses his role as a public figure.
