The involvement of Psychology professionals in work settings, as well as in the area of Occupational Health, has a certain consolidation and recognition in the country. However, the same does not seem to occur when it comes to interventions carried out by psychologists regarding alcohol consumption by workers. We sought to identify and analyze, in the national scientific literature, the practices carried out by psychologists given the alcoholism and problematic alcohol consumption in work settings. A systematic literature review was conducted, based on PRISMA Statement, and the Social Psychology of Work was the chosen theoretical framework. The inquiries were carried out in the following electronic databases: LILACS, PePSIC, scIELO, CAPES, BDTD and CREPOP, using the boolean descriptors and operators: “alcoholism AND work”; “psychology AND alcoholism AND work”; “Alcoholism AND Psychology”. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, only 11 studies were selected for analysis, which shows a low production of publications on the issue. In general, it was observed that the interventions aim to stimulate alcohol abstinence in workers and most were based on the assumptions of the Cognitive Behavioral Theory. No practice used harm reduction strategies. The actions were organized in a structured and inflexible way, with the attendances following pre-determined steps, which may have hampered the workers’ participation and the development of the psychologists’ activities. It is argued about the importance of reflecting on the performances of psychologists, through the creation of dialogic spaces and the encouragement of scientific production, in order to update the craft.
