So task of the clinical psychologist, using their instruments and clinical management, unlock the secrets, that revealed, takes one who is psychically ill find the path of healing. The question is: would this practice a legacy left by the act of confession of Christianity? What is at stake is the control of the truths that lie within the private? After answering these questions, we want to present a proposal that if untangle clinic of assumptions of truth as disclosure of an interiority, can then enhance release modes of the determinations of a time that the man moves not no longer with autonomy, but as an automaton, that says yes to determinations of his time.
