Based on certain data collected from archives and publications, the authors show the evolution of psychic patients' care delivery in Tîrgu-Mureş, underlying the beginnings of charity care of the institutions operated during the 13th, 14th and 17th centuries. Social advance and the action of a progressive thinking have prepared the way to a modern medical stand which gradually witnessed the separation of psychiatry into the modern clinic of psychiatry. Along the sequences of this evolution the authors review medical and scientific personalities up to the present-day organization and activity of the clinic of psychiatry with its programme of didactic, research and care activities.
