Palabras clave: análisis del discurso, imaginarios sociales, neoliberalismo, psicología ABSTRACT The increase of psychologists in Colombia has potential effects on the employability and working conditions of these professionals. 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 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. Ello implica que la educación, como proceso cultural, es permeada por la lógica instrumental, lo que lleva a entenderla en cuanto a stock de mercancías.
