Abstract

The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, we intend to produce a short review on the history of the emotions in Spain and Latin America. On the other hand, we will argue in favor of a methodological approach, focused on the history of subjective experiences and, specifically in this case, on the cultural history of wellbeing. We will conclude that the cooperative project developed by our group of Madrid and a Valencian team of doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists specialized in the study and treatment of fibromyalgia is a good example of how cooperative endeavor between the Humanities and the Health Sciences in the XXI century.
