PERIS CASTIGLIONI, Carlos Aníbal. "You will talk about yourself, but you will not tell about us." The Foucauldian confession applied in the consultation process between the Paraguayan national police and the psychologists of the institution. Prax. filos. [online]. 2021, n.53, pp.183-204.  Epub 27-Ago-2021. ISSN 0120-4688.  https://doi.org/10.25100/pfilosofica.v0i53.11519.

Considering Michel Foucault's concept of confession, the Paraguayan national police have been analyzed in accordance with what was mentioned to the institution's psychologists. How has the healthcare context been given? and, what were the main reasons for the consultation? The questions were posed in the guiding inquiries to four therapists who worked in a specialized hospital and in two police stations in the city of Asunción. Regarding the main conclusions, the agent has needed an imperious restraint and a profound change in his forms and ways of relating to his colleagues and with those outside his profession, the general population and those close to him. The Paraguayan National Police has not been a homogeneous group that has only dedicated itself to following orders, it has enjoyed a daily experience, defined by its practices that has affected it and, on some occasions, has led it to confess its dramas with the end of being better people, fundamentally in family contexts: the police confession as "self-technical".
