Abstract

This article aims to study how the psychiatry, in France, is within a set of security devices, which focus in the management of the “risks” related to mental disorders as much as the management of “risks” of recurrent violent crimes. Besides, this article has as its focal point to study the position of psychiatry, on one hand, the center of what is to be called “mental health device” and, on the other, in the center of the legal devices, being that both have met, in the last decades, some resembling transformations that make them mainly safety devices in the strict meaning of the term promoted by Michel Foucault.
