Abstract

This paper discusses the relation between ideology and the knowledge produced by psychiatry, for the purpose of uncover what is occult in a text that is considered scientific. The analyzed material is concerned with primary prevention of psychic disturbs which produce “social inadaptation”. The analysis is centered on the own concept of prevention as ideology, in a critical view that seeks the lacunas that guarantee and legitimate the State power of the ones who keep the hegemonic knowledge in the area of mental healthy.
