Abstract
The link between neurophysiology and psychiatry is complex because of the variety of neurophysiological approaches, whether they come from “dry” or “wet” neurophysiology, and because of the difficult positioning of psychiatry in medicine. The argument that we develop in this text is that of the problematic confrontation of a psychiatry whose nosological stability is far from being assured and a neurophysiology whose advances bring forth mythologies constantly renewed. Thus it appears that neurophysiology contributes little to psychiatry. Indeed, neurophysiology is currently unable to explain the occurrence of conscious experience and all research in neuroscience has advanced psychiatry only marginally. This is to say the extent of the difficulties that psychiatrists and neurophysiologists face in their desires for collaboration.
