El incremento de psicólogos en Colombia tiene efectos potenciales en la empleabilidad y en las condiciones laborales de estos profesionales. ¿A qué se debe la atractividad de esta carrera en la actualidad? Este artículo aporta insumos para responder a dicha pregunta, mediante el análisis de los imaginarios sobre la psicología en estudiantes de pregrado de dos universidades privadas. Como método se utiliza un diseño cualitativo y el análisis del discurso. Se identifica una metáfora estructural y tres repertorios interpretativos, que articulan los imaginarios sobre la psicología al discurso neoliberal de la gestión del self, fomentando la psicologización del mal-estar social. El psicólogo aparece como gestor de las competencias del otro, en un mundo precario y del riesgo. La psicología de corriente principal en Colombia sigue siendo imaginada mediante una metáfora adaptacioncita, cimentada en el individualismo metodológico y en la imagen del psicólogo como sujeto poseedor de una mirada privilegiada, conocedor de una verdad relativa al mal-estar. Es precisamente en una formación histórica neoliberal, caldo de cultivo de prácticas individualistas y competitivas, donde la psicología goza de gran atractividad.

Psicoperspectivas Individuo y Sociedad

The increase of psychologists in Colombia has potential effects on the employability and working conditions of these professionals. Why is this career attractive nowadays? This article tries to answer this question, analyzing the social imaginaries about psychology in undergraduate students from two private universities. As a method we used a qualitative design and discourse analysis. A structural metaphor and three interpretative repertoires are identified, which articulate the imaginary ones about psychology to the neoliberal discourse of self-management, promoting the psychologization of social discomfort. The psychologist appears as a manager of the competences of the others, in a precarious and risky world. The dominant psychology in Colombia continues to be imagined through an adaptationist metaphor, based on methodological individualism and on the image of the psychologist as a subject with privileged gaze, who knows the truths about discomfort. It is specifically in a neoliberal historical period, breeding ground for individualistic and competitive practices, where psychology is in great demand.
