This research's objective was, based on Foucault's and Rose's discussion on liberal governamentality, to inquire on how certain specific contemporary psychological practices engage in nowadays modes of government. Having Rose's results about the periods of establishment of work psychology in North American and British contexts in mind, we sought to understand how this process occurred in Brazil. For that, we investigated national academic productions that treated about the issue of work: the Arquivos Brasileiros de Psicotécnic and material published on the Institute of Psychology of University of Brasil. It was not possible to adequate the investigated documents to Rose's periodization, what led us to develop our own classification. Furthermore, the partial results of this research that is still in the beginning pointed out for a predominance of disciplinar and centred in the production style in the years 1949-1965.
