Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of José’s case, a deaf-mute who was treated as insane and, for being accused of murder attempt, was condemned to reclusion in a mental hospital. The case is an example of what Michel Foucault calls ubu-esque and enlights the relationships between Psychology and Law, specially the political fundamentals in Forensic Psychology.
