ABSTRACT
Eponyms have played a very significant linguistic role in technical and scientific terminology. They are an important feature of language that have contributed for a long time to engraving in history the names of those researchers who have devoted their lives to scientific discovery. In the field of medical terminology, they are an asset, although their semantic effectiveness has constituted a long-standing debate. We will analyze how language contributes to the advance of science and technology and the current position of eponyms in the health sciences. Eponymy in neuroscience has been used for a long time as a way to identify and recognize scientific issues, such as diseases, syndromes, methods, processes, substances, organs, and parts of organs as a way to honor those who, in a certain way, contributed to the progress of science. However, sometimes those honors do not correspond to the real contributors, thus receiving a nondeserved acknowledgment. Another problem with eponymic references is the lack of information about the matter in hand, because eponyms do not provide any clear information leading to the identification of the situation under study, as they are not reasonably descriptive. The aim of this article is to encourage the use of descriptive terms instead of eponyms and to establish a system of scientific nomenclature to consolidate the use of the language as a means of conveying scientific information among experts.

Se refiere al psicoanálisis y a la historia, especialmente a los aconteceres humanos, a las motivaciones que producen el cambio, a los modelos de interpretación, a las ideología y transformaciones sociales las cuales tienen que llegar a la aceptación del cambio con la creatividad. Todo esto está planteado con el modelo psicoanalítico. La sociedad y el psicoanálisis tienen sus interpretaciones e intervenciones, a su vez el análisis histórico psicoanalítico hay que realizarlo con la investigación de la personalidad del sujeto investigado. En este trabajo se plantean las influencias del psicoanálisis en la sociedad, en la cultura, y en la educación; se hacen reconstrucciones de hechos y personajes, así como también se alude al juego, a lo imaginario y a lo simbólico que puede llevar a la construcción de los conceptos en la sociedad actual
