in reply to @pnictogen-wing's post:

Foucault talks about something similar to this in the History of Sexuality, drawing a direct line from the confession of sins, and how it forces you to define “sin” as something that happens internally and always has to be monitored, to psychology and the classification of mental disorders, and how each of these is used to perpetuate the authority of those institutions.

Not sure what to make of it. Maybe just the way these institutions are structured make them susceptible to any logic that implants an idea of deviancy, whether it uses the language of psychology or sin?

the very process of confession, at least in the authoritarian way it's come to be carried out in Christian churches, must surely imply a kind of hierarchy of deviancy—one person's the authority on deviancy, the other person's presenting their own behavior to the authority and asking, "is this deviancy or not?"

yet, if I follow the logic of original sin (i.e. universal human fallibility), there ought never to be any hierarchy in this matter. confession ought to be between two fellow sinners on an even footing. I don't think you'd even need an external standard of "deviancy" for that to work...two people know whether they've hurt each other, surely. ~Chara
