Abstract

The Brazilian Society of Neurology, Psychiatry and Forensic Medicine (SBNPML) was created in 1907, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, for a group of physicians that was looking for the development of these specialties. In this article, I want to analyze the context of this medical and scientific institution´s foundation, noticing the elements that contributed to its creation and its relevance to the local medical community.
