PSICOLOGÍA E IDEOLOGÍA: FOUCAULT, CANGUILHEM Y ALTHUSSER

Abstract

The present paper seeks to analyze some criticisms to psychology made by French authors such as Michel Foucault, Georges Canguilhem and Louis Althusser. Though three authors are included inside the intellectual movement of the French  epistemology, their analyses of psychology are marked by methodological differences. In spite of it, they all agree in attributing  to the psychology of the time analyzed an ideological character, salient in the practical dimension of the discipline.  In their critique they stress the oblivion of the ideological dimension by psychologie, what determines that it became a  technology of adjustment of individuals to the conditions of the social enviroment.
