This article aims to analyze tensions between the principle of autonomy from the principialist Bioethics school and the concept of vulnerability present in the public mental health policies that ensure compulsory psychiatric hospitalization procedure. Then gives rise to a discussion on the implications of the concept of autonomy from the principialist bioethics on the Law 10.216 that regulates the compulsory hospitalization and medical procedure legally secured. How central, it is considered the articulation of bioethics as a field of knowledge with the psychiatric reform as an institutional political movement that directs mental health practices in Brazil. The questioning revolves around the bioethical basis for medical procedures such as compulsory hospitalization. Finally, it rises by a discussion of how the mentally ill is vulnerable regarding we think of their social role, as it affects the application of the principle of autonomy and how the law helps this process.
