This master’s degree dissertation aims to present the therapeutic methods or
systems that prevailed in Portugal along the nineteenth century, characterizing the
stage and the actors of these movements, at a time when the art of healing
varied significantly between the dominant conceptions that have emerged in Europe
around the experimental science in the century before.
The great movement around the therapeutic systems and its controversies within
the medical society in Portugal are the subject of this research, in terms of trying to
understand the background of new therapeutic heterodoxies that framed the reality
of the Portuguese therapeutic system, inspired in new ideas of modernity that cross
through the Europe in motion.
