This paper analyses the current form of classification of malaise in children and adolescents. It localizes the foundations of childhood in the birth of industry and the systemization of school, as well as those of contemporary taxonomies in the epistemic turn caused by the DSM III. It exposes some of the inconsistencies of this model and advocates for psychoanalytic cure, allowing a different and consequent approximation to psychopathology that allows to understand patients better.

Some contemporary approximations to subjectivity appeal to conceptual connections between neurosciences and psychoanalysis. The present work describes from an epistemological point of view the difficulties those approaches show, arguing that, even if subjectivity can be thought properly from both disciplines, each of them ought to do it separately and needs a particular concept to account for subjectivity. A dialogue between neurosciences and psychoanalysis could ultimately be useful if each perspective is founded in a solid, empirical and epistemologically appropriate methodology.
