Abstract

After we report cases treated at the Custody Hospital and Psychiatric Treatment 'André Teixeira Lima' de Franco da Rocha, we present some debate on 'mental health and justice'. We deal with social and psychological conditions which enable, inhibit or even block the process of subjectivity necessary to the exercise of ethics. It is focused the issue of neutrality and its role in caring for patients who have suffered failures in the process of subjectivity. For this, we used psychoanalytic concepts and, in particular, a definition of ethics that articulates with the technique in psychoanalysis.
