Síndrome cerebral orgánica. / [Organic brain syndrome]

ABSTRACT

Organic Brain Syndrome (OBS) is an expression finding in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders belonging to the great chapter of Organic Mental Disorders. With this meaning, it has been used in psychiatric centers outside the United States. Beginning with a lecture of the major aspects of the OBS, a critical revision is formulated under methodological and conceptual views of psychopathology. For that, classic authors are revised from Bonhoeffer to Weitbrecht.
