This article analyzes the proposal of psychology linked to education in the work Psychologie Pédagogique. L’enfant. L’adolescent. Le jeune homme (1916/1938a), in the light of a Notice published in the Revista do Ensino [Teaching Magazine], in 1930, which recommended the reading of this book to teachers in the context of educational reform in Minas Gerais state. The article investigates these two sources using as reference Feldhay's definition of science cultural field, the concept of accommodation proposed by Massimi and Chartier's elaborations on readers’ tactics, reading practices and editorial choices. The text is organized into three topics: recommending readings for teachers’ education, the value and limits of the scientific method in education, pedagogical psychology, and the functioning of complex higher functions. The research shows that the reading of Psychologie Pédagogique was recommended due to the fact that it establishes a settlement between Catholic doctrine and modern pedagogical knowledge, as well as for presenting a scientific psychology capable of considering the spiritual and supernatural dimension of the human being.
