520 _aThe science fiction novel written by Stangerup in 1973 described a society governed by behavioral therapies, ousting the concept of culpability, and showed what a new form of totalitarianism may look like. The instrumentalization of behavioral sciences for the promotion of a social order that conforms to the requirements of the market model takes today an effective dimension through policies that deal with violent behaviors, considering them as a deviance to treat with corrective therapies. This validates and supports INSERM’s reports in the field of psychiatry, which aim at bringing in scientific evidence and propose to quantify the method’s effectiveness, informed by the most reductionist and normative sector of psychiatry. This scientistic bias, through the influence of the logic of evidence, proceeds from the elimination of subjectivity and the question of meaning, which should be located in the evolution of the social organization.
