Abstract: This article examines the strategic role played by the Brazilian Annals of Medicine, the official organ of the Imperial Academy of Medicine. Its objective was to socially legitimize the medical elite in the field of mental health. It sought to broaden its prerogatives in the area of madness, criminal liability, civil rights and forensic medicine between 1860 and 1880. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
