Abstract
Psychiatry is often criticized because of the excesses inherent in its practice, even if diké (justice) attempts to mitigate it. Since Hippocrates, we have tried to treat patients who are often caught up in the hubris of their pathologies. But social justice struggles to provide the human means to deploy a just, humane practice within the city. We will see how psychiatry, when faced with its limits, we can go beyond the observation and propose ethical avenues to find a balance of forces between diké and hubris.
