The main steps in the development of neuropsychology in France are briefly reviewed, from the early contribution of Paul Broca (1861) up until the early 1990s. The current epistemological and institutional crises is analyzed with respect to some general factors inherent to the domain (e.g., disputes between the proponents of the psychological and biological dimensions) and to particular factors related to the French situation (e.g., retirement of prominent neuropsychologists). As regards clinical practice and research activities, the future will probably show some fractionation of goals and techniques prior to new synthesis.
本文简要回顾了法国神经心理学发展的主要阶段，从保罗·布洛卡（1861年）的早期贡献一直到20世纪90年代初。针对该领域固有的一些一般因素（例如，心理学和生物学维度支持者之间的争论）以及与法国情况相关的特殊因素（例如，杰出神经心理学家的退休），分析了当前的认识论和制度危机。至于临床实践和研究活动，未来可能会在新的综合之前出现目标和技术的某种分化。
