Being the discourse a social practice, where its operation is governed by rules which control a collection of knowledge, the present study searched its support in the theoretical principles of the philosopher Michel Foucault and has as its object the study of psychic phenomena in the therapy of past life/lives - PLT. Mediumistic phenomena emerged in the offices of therapists of the orthodox line forcing them, in a way, to understand this new field of study that was being unfolded. From The results of this process emerged a new therapeutic approach and that one moved away from the traditional approaches. From this, at first, we will present a brief historical context about the journey on how these phenomena were understood and interpreted. Were selected three looks which we considered the basis for an understanding of this trajectory in which the phenomena were gaining interpretations: the vision of Metapsychics, of the parapsychology and ultimately of the Kardecism. We realize that at some points they complement each other and at other moments they become distant. Based on the fieldwork, we seek to understand through the speeches of therapists who work with PLT, how these professionals deal with the emergence of psychic phenomena in the therapeutic setting. As a theoretical-methodological approach, besides Foucault, we used the anthropological perspective costing us both authors working with Kardecism as those who study the universe New Age, focusing on therapeutic practices.
