Abstract: The science fiction novel written by Stangerup in 1973 described a society governed by the behavioral therapies, ousting the concept of culpability, and showed how spread a new form of totalitarism. The instrumentalisation 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 by corrective therapies. The Inserm reports in the field of psychiatry aim at bringing a scientific evidence and proposing a quantified effectiveness of the methods resulting from the most reductionistic and normative trend of psychiatry. The scientistic drift at work through the influence of the logic of the proof proceeds of an ousting of subjectivity and the question of meaning, that should be located in the evolution of the social organization.
