title: [Is it possible to think a Psycho-Ethic?].
abstract: Taking into account Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" we may ask ourselves the question about why Bioethic does not advance over human and/or social sciences in the way it does advance in the medical field. To be more precise: which is the position of psychiatric/psychological psychopathology, considering that they feed themselves from both types of sciences? It's now the time to think: how should we respond to the way we treat particular vulnerabilities of the mentally ill, taking into account the way in which it may be affected their subjectivity and autonomy? Which is the competence of the patient to consent, without being internally or externally compelled by certain therapeutical practices or before their inclusion in investigation protocols? How is it possible to keep confidentiality, specially in institutions in which exist an interdisciplinary approach of the patient and where the registration of the information is done by means of informatic case reports?
