Abstract

This article intends to discuss, by Foucault’s point of view, how Psychology – as well as Psychiatry and Law _ could be contributing in order to create new ways of human constitution by those who are incarcerated in psychiatric-penal institutions. It also appoints to provide subsidies to a reflexion about the question of the control practices present in most of the psychiatric assessments that define the level of danger to others.

Key-words: dispositif, subject, danger of others.
