This article intends to show a predominantly medical approach in the practices of Care and Attention to Health in the Contemporary Clinic. DSM Psychiatry, allied to the Pharmaceutical Industry and Psychotropic Medicines, have presented a way of looking at psychic suffering of what a subject, his historical context, and his knowledge about what he does. The medical discourse has transformed the symptoms into disorders and disorders, betting on policies for a body that remains, therefore, reduced to its organic vision. "The medicalization of all manifestations of health, health and/or health" as well as the pain of habit. In the midst of biochemistry, such as the Field Psychoanalysis of Freud and Lacan can contribute to the care practices be oriented towards the Psychosocial Paradigm? Autonomous Medication Management (GAM) and Psychosocial appear to be a good bet.
