Starting from the epistemic problems that psychotherapy poses today, we aimed to conceptualize it as a practice of subjectivation belonging to care of the self tradition. This practice does not finish in the determinants and attachments in which it is immersed, but, based on those instituted elements, it is the ideal place to liberate dimensions of meaning not previously attended. This possibility arises from the subjectivity movement, which is what we seek to facilitate, and from a field of appearing that requires thinking itself under other criteria. To this end, some phenomenological contributions are reviewed and their possible implications in the problem of psychotherapy and the regime of truth in which it operates are pointed out.

Keywords : psychotherapy; subjectivity; self care; institution.
