ABSTRACT
In this work we critically reflect on psychiatry and its various possibilities in a world in permanent change. We make a brief tour of some of the changes it has undergone through narrative, philosophical and epistemological contributions, asking ourselves the question of the future of the specialty in times when information takes away our freedom, making us feel, at the same time, falsely free. Finally, we propose a "rephilosophization" that places us once again in the world of those who think and think, of those who worry about asking themselves daily about the tools available for the clinic, without considering any of them as something already given, turned into doctrine or religion.

The main focus of this paper is to analyze the role of the word pronounced by members of the health staff as it is constitutive of identity in the patient recepting the word. How is identity constructed? How does the word spoken by a significant Other impinge on this process? In particular, what about the influence of words denoting medical diagnoses? Regarding such queries we also look, on a preliminary basis, at each of the two main currents in Western medicine (biomedicine and medical anthropology), to find out if and how it addresses the relation between the word as an element of identity and the same word as a therapeutic tool.
