Life judicialization in contemporaneity

This article aims to study the phenomenon of contemporary judicialization of life. By judicialization it can be understood the movement of legal and normative regulation of living, which is appropriated by the individuals for the resolution of conflicts, which reproduces to each other the control, judgment and punishment of conducts. In this sense, the objective of this work is to analyze the effects of discourses and legal practices over subjectivities, ie, the way individuals relate experience and conceive their lives. Thus, laws, policies and actions related to parental alienation and bullying will be used as triggers, highlighting the pathological and judicial logics that are their basis and how close they are to psychology. Finally, it is proposed that psychology is in constant ethical-political reflection in order to foster the construction of innovative psi practices, which break the imprisonment produced by the movement of judicialization and create new paths for life improvement.
