Hace ya algún tiempo: Miguel Gayarre Espinal (1866-1936)

espanolMiguel Gayarre Espinal es un gran desconocido para los profesionales actuales de la salud mental, salvo por aquellos interesados en la Historia de nuestra especialidad. Y no es de extranar, porque apenas hay trabajos escritos que sobre este autor y en casi todos ellos hay muy pocas referencias a su biografia personal. Con este articulo pretendemos difundir mas la figura de este psiquiatra pamplones nacido en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX; probablemente el menos conocido de aquellos que fueron relevantes en la llamada Escuela Madrilena de Psiquiatria y quien tuvo entre sus maestros a Santiago Ramon y Cajal, Luis Simarro y Nicolas Achucarro. Fue director del hospital psiquiatrico de Ciempozuelos y tambien el abuelo materno del famoso periodista y atleta olimpico, Miguel de la Quadra-Salcedo y Gayarre. EnglishMiguel Gayarre Espinal remains largely unknown to modern psychiatrists and only those holding a special interest in the history of our specialty tend to be familiar with his name. This is not surprising as there are only few works about this author with his personal biography scarcely referred to. Through this work, we will try to “revive” the figure of this psychiatrist who was born in Pamplona in the second half of the 19th century. Among the great names attributed to the so-called Madrid School of Psychiatry, Miguel Gayare Espinal is probably the least known. Santiago Ramon y Cajal, Luis Simarro and Nicolas Achucarro were among his teachers. Gayare later became director of the Ciempozuelos psychiatric hospital. He was also the maternal grandfather of the famous journalist and Olympic athlete, Miguel de la Quadra-Salcedo y Gayarre.
