While there has been some research into Francoist psychiatry, much work still needs to be done on the reorganization of the mental health profession within the new state. Held in Barcelona on 12, 13 and 14th January 1942, the National Neurology and Psychiatry Conference undoubtedly played a major role in the attempt to overthrow the dominant ideas in the field of Spanish psychiatry and displace its most influential figures. This article seeks to analyse the Conference's main organizational features and examine its most significant content, with the aim of evaluating its strategic importance in the context of both the psychiatrists' professional and scientific interests and their ideological and political concerns. Conference papers tackled issues such as neurology and psychiatry in wartime, vitamin deficiency and the nervous system, and new psychiatric treatments, including shock therapy. The Conference's marked ideological nature represented the beginning of a new professional dynamic, featuring the emergence or establishment of new leaders intent on laying the foundations of psychiatry during the early years of the Franco regime.
尽管已经有一些关于佛朗哥政权时期精神病学的研究，但在新国家中精神卫生专业的重组方面仍有许多工作要做。1942年1月12日、13日和14日在巴塞罗那举行的全国神经病学与精神病学会议，无疑在试图推翻西班牙精神病学领域的主流观念并取代其最具影响力人物的过程中发挥了重要作用。本文旨在分析该会议的主要组织特点，并审视其最重要的内容，以便在精神病医生的专业和科学兴趣以及他们的思想和政治关切的背景下评估其战略重要性。会议论文探讨了诸如战时神经病学与精神病学、维生素缺乏与神经系统以及包括休克疗法在内的新的精神病治疗方法等问题。该会议明显的意识形态性质代表了一种新的专业动态的开端，其特点是出现或确立了新的领导者，他们意图在佛朗哥政权早期为精神病学奠定基础。
