Abstract
The notion of device, developed in political philosophy, covers complex strategic methods that act in the exercise of power intervening in the subjectification process, and was, therefore, addressed in this theoretical study, whose goal is to contribute to the psychic suffering practice, through psychoanalysis conceptual, ethical and political fundamentals, all directional regulators of treatment. In the discussion, we considered the management of transference as a strategy that operates in opposite direction to said device, a counter-device, concluding that transference has a relation with power, yet its strategic conduction, considering the fundamental flaw, enables the emergence of something new in the repetition, the input of the random, of the real, as an effect of the analytical act in the discourse.
