abstract="In the present work, it is claimed that suicide in Chile was represented by judges (at the beginning of the 19th Century), first as a sin to be punished as a crime and then (mid-nineteenth Century) as a behavior devoid of religious and criminal connotation and which should be dismissed. This latter perspective prevailed partly by the incorporation of the medical theory that classified it as an expression of mental disorder. The imposition of the medical criterion over the religious one was noted as the transition from a Christian to a secular Christian society. © 2018 Universidad Andres Bello.
