Abstract
This paper aims to discuss the policies within the psychological clinical device in Brazil. We performed a bibliographic cartography in the Brazilian academic literature regarding the key words “clinic” and “politics”. The research resulted in the identification of psychopolitical characteristics of the clinic, which were categorized into four axes.

In analogy to Pandora’s box myth, these axes represent the evils released, as well as hope at the bottom:

(a) colonizing practices, which move towards the maintenance of a hegemonic subjectivity colonized by European standards;

(b) psychotechnocracy, practices that promote a universal truth about human beings and their behavior;

(c) capitalization of care, a practice impregnated and guided by
neoliberal logic; and

(d) hope, proposition about a politicized and transformative clinical practice.
