CAPONI, Sandra. Between the government of self and others: a psychiatric self-hermeneutics. Sig. Fil [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.36, pp.60-87. ISSN 1665-1324.

In this article I deal with a government strategy that I call psychiatric self-hermeneutics. In order to understand this, I analyze Foucault studies on the enunciation of truth and its relationship with the self-government and the government of others. Considering the differences between Greco-Roman care of self, Christian self-hermeneutics and psychiatric self-hermeneutics, I examine how the axes delimited by the government of others, the selfgovernment, and the enunciation of a truth about ourselves are articulated in the field of psychiatry as a psychiatrized identity.

Keywords : psychiatry; hermeneutics; self-government; knowledge; truth.
