This paper aims to analyze the relation between health and Psychology through the discussion on discursive practices, ways of subjectivation and power relations based on a Foucaultian approach. It questions how certain ways of subjectivation obey the standards of the health resources in the field of public policies. Therefore, we intend to show how health concept is constructed by psychological practices. These practices do not only produce the subjects, who are their very objects, but they also produce the way they can and must be thought. In order to understand the relation between psychology and health, we take three theoretical aspects that constitute Psychology as a science (the reason, the unconscious and the psychological instruments) to demonstrate how these aspects make the emergence of health in the field of Psychology.
