Abstract
This article analyzes the formation of a transnational community in which Brazilian and German psychiatrists provided intense scientific exchanges, especially after World War I. In Germany, Emil Kraepelin (1856-1926) gave new directions for the psychiatric research and established a model of production of the psychological and neuropsychiatric knowledge with various scientific specialties. In Brazil, as physicians Juliano Moreira (1873-1933) and Ulysses Vianna (1880-1935) were responsible of the reception of kraepelian’s program, as well as the circulation of physicians, knowledge and institutional models across the two countries. This research highlighted that mental medicine establishes a new form of production of scientific knowledge, with emphasis on laboratory and closer to the biological and experimental bias.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
