title: [Spanish national neurology (psychiatry). The work of Vallejo Nájera and López Ibor].
abstract: After the Civil War, Spanish science underwent a profound crisis. The promising neurology of Madrid, which went hand in hand with psychiatry, collapsed since its leading figures were on the Republican side. The new leaders, Vallejo Nájera and López Ibor, gradually abandoned the neurological aspect so that this disappeared, and from a psychiatric point of view tried to support the new dominating ideas based on German national-socialism (German national psychiatry). Their 'pure' neurological work is limited, although of interest, since it represents the scant output of our specialty during those years.
