Resumen

Este artículo analiza los elementos biográficos y contextuales que permitieron a Scott Fitzgerald realizar en Tender is the Night (1934) una aproximación a la psiquiatría de la época. Se relacionan los contenidos de la novela con la enfermedad mental de Zelda Fitzgerald y su ingreso en una clínica psiquiátrica suiza en 1930. Asimismo, se identifican los paralelismos existentes entre los médicos que trataron al matrimonio y los que aparecen en la novela, examinando los elementos que sirvieron para construir unos personajes de ficción inspirados en relevantes figuras de la psiquiatría del momento, como Oscar Forel, Eugen Bleuler o Carl Gustav Jung. Finalmente, se estima el peso y trascendencia del discurso y los conceptos psiquiátricos y psicoanalíticos manejados por Scott Fitzgerald en la novela.
