The Journal Index of Neurology and Psychiatry. 1938-1946. The neuropsychiatric's beginnings in Pichon Rivière. This paper begins by analyzing the role of scientific journals in shaping scientific specialties. In this context, the main characteristics of the journal Index. Revista Ibero-Americana de Análisis Bibliográficos de Neurología y Psiquiatría [Journal of Iber-American Bibliographic Analysis in Neurology and Psychiatry], better known as Index in Neurology and Psychiatry are analyzed. This Journal began to be published in Argentina in July 1938 and continued at least until July 1946. The Journal's editor was the renowned neurologist Roque Orlando and Enrique Pichon-Rivière was Managing Editor. In the journal, Enrique Pichon-Rivière (1907-1977) wrote 78 book reviews. Both the origin of the reviewed works and the subject matter of them are analyzed. Then, a classification of those reviews in four categories is proposed, and the main characteristics of each one of them are pointed out. Finally, the paper analyzes such books reviews as a part of the early thought of Pichon-Rivière, discussing as well the thesis of the institutional isolation of Pichon Rivière. Concerning its method, the paper is a retrospective ex post facto study, in which the research was conducted in the Archives of the Library of the Medical Sciences School at Buenos Aires University
