title: [Regional epistemologies in psychiatry].
abstract: It becomes apparent at the present level of development of the Psychiatry that it is not possible to have a unique theoretical framework or a general principle in the wide field of this discipline. In this article the various theoretical references are reviewed. In some clinical cases the author refers to the lack of a theoretical reference at all. At the present moment, the range of theoretical perspectives leads to deal with the coexistence of regional epistemologies.
