With the objective of identifying the prevalence of critical standings in concern from the medicalization that occurs at school environment, this article presents the results of two researches that aimed to analyze the scientific production between 2010 and 2015, on periodicals with A1, A2 and B1 qualifications, on Psychological and Educational areas. Both surveys separately developed for triennium used the theory and method from Historical-Cultural Psychology for the discussions proposed. To the analysis of the first triennium (2010-2012) sixty-one articles were selected, from which only 24.59% presented critical thoughts; the second triennium demanded the review of eighty-three publications, with 48.19% critical studies. Although the surveys point to an increase of the critical capacity of responding to school’s medicalization phenomenal, there is still a need to foresee the cohesion between critical theory and practice, on both Psychological and Educational field, so that they can contribute to questioning and overcoming medicalization in all of its forms.
