Psychiatry, with a recent history as to a pragmatic discipline and a progressive development from the individual to the social, finds a holistic perspective of singular heuristic value in the ecological proposition. Ecopsychiatry is a general approach in which the diverse sources of psychiatric knowledge are grouped in order to get a view of macro-reality emerging from a methodological integration of behavior sciences and a unified theory orientating to a realistic praxis in the normative. This paper reviews the rationale, notion and historical development of the ecological principle in psychiatry. After a superficial analysis of the first contributions in this field, it is intented to outline the real of the actual psychiatric ecology mentioning their methods and contents. Following Bateson's postulation it is emphasized that ecological principles cannot be isolated from their own ideological contents--the ecological system necessarily involves science's ideas for their concepts need a constant evaluation.
精神病学作为一门注重实际的学科，有着从关注个体到关注社会的渐进发展历程，在生态学命题中发现了具有独特启发价值的整体视角。生态精神病学是一种总体方法，其中各种精神病学知识来源被整合在一起，以便从行为科学的方法整合以及导向规范中现实实践的统一理论中获得对宏观现实的认识。本文回顾了精神病学中生态原则的基本原理、概念及历史发展。在对该领域的早期贡献进行简要分析后，旨在概述当前精神病学生态学的现状，提及其实践方法和内容。按照贝特森的假设，强调生态原则不能与其自身的思想内容相分离——生态系统必然涉及科学观念，因为其概念需要不断评估。
