Abstract
This article discusses the influence of Marxism in Foucault’s questioning of psychology. It also considers how this questioning could be used in the Marxist field in which psychological knowledge is usually conceived and criticized as ideology. After recalling the critical analysis of psychology in the young Foucault and his explicit use of notions coming from Marxism, it is shown how some of these notions continue to intervene surreptitiously in the next three decades. Traces of Marxism are detected in works such as Mental Illness and Personality, Mental Illness and Psychology, History of Madness in the Classical Period, Words and Things, The Archaeology of Knowledge, Discipline and Punishment, History of Sexuality and some courses at the College de France.

Summary
El presente artículo examina la incidencia del marxismo en el cuestionamiento al que se ve sometida la psicología en la obra de Michel Foucault. Se considera también cómo este cuestionamiento podría ser empleado en el campo marxista en el que el saber psicológico suele ser concebido y criticado como ideología. Tras evocar el análisis de la psicología en el joven Foucault y su empleo abierto de nocio nes provenientes del marxismo, se muestra cómo algunas de estas nociones continúan interviniendo subrepticiamente en las tres décadas siguientes. Se detectan indicios de influencias marxistas en obras como Enfermedad mental y personalidad, Enfermedad mental y psicología, Historia de la locura en la época clásica, Las palabras y las cosas, La arqueología del saber, Vigilar y castigar, Historia de la sexualidad y algunos cursos en el Collège de France
