The work proposal is based on the problem of women pathologization, a product of the incidence of medical knowledge on women. The proposal guiding question concerns the unfolding of the medical-psychiatric device in the justice system, used as a justification for interventions in the lives of women through the interaction between medical knowledge and judicial practices. From the psychiatric device, it is possible to identify legal consequences such as civil interdiction, loss of custody and family power, compulsory hospitalization associated with the diagnosis of drug addiction and the application of the security measure, resulting from the verification of non-imputability. That is, the diagnosis of mental illness affects dimensions of women’s lives treated by different areas of law and mobilizes different professionals and fields of knowledge. Autonomy, sexual and reproductive rights, system of capabilities and rights of people with disabilities are examples of themes that are present in court decisions related to situations in which there is a psychiatric diagnosis to inform the measures adopted, a diagnosis that is often carried out in interaction with sexism and racism and is endorsed by judicial proceedings. It is understood that judicial decisions can be a privileged way of accessing the correlation between psychiatrization/pathologization, ableism, racism and gender inequality. The proposal will articulate teaching, research and extension and will take place within the scope of Unifesp’s Human Rights Clinic, with the involvement of undergraduate students.
