The present article presents a comprehension of transgression, made possible throughout Psychological Attendance practice for criminal adolescents in a correctional Brazilian institution. Although the infraction act is qualified as transgression action before the institutional law system, the adolescents´ own narratives showed a sort of denunciation of an exclusion social contest in an universitarian extension project Psychological Attendance in a Brazilian correctional institution, presenting its clinical assumptions in a existential phenomenological perspective, as well as its way of acting, revealing a possible articulation between law and social denunciation coming from attention psychology practice as a way of intervention to support human suffering in crisis situation. Hence, beyond comprehending transgression as a denunciation space, a sense of transgression departs from reflections of it under a social control meaning, making possible to propose a clinical action directed toward the adolescents´ property of their own life history, by projecting other possibilities: to take care of himself and being responsible for its own way of living. Finally, it presents transgression by other comprehension: to go further, to seek other non instituted ways of may be a being for those adolescents, revealing, at the same time, a psychological clinical practice far beyond its traditional frontiers.
