This book presents a cultural history of psychology that analyzes
the diverse contexts in which psychological knowledge and practices
have developed in Latin America. The book aims to contribute to the
growing effort to develop a theoretical knowledge that complements
the biographical perspective centered on the great figures, with a
polycentric history that emphasizes the different cultural, social,
economic and political phenomena that accompanied the emergence of
psychology. The different chapters of this volume show the
production of historians of psychology in Latin America who are
part of the Ibero-American Network of Researchers in History of
Psychology (RIPeHP, in the Portuguese acronym for "Rede
Iberoamericana de Pesquisadores em Historia da Psicologia"). They
present a significant sample of the research carried out in a field
that has experienced a strong development in the region in the last
decades. The volume is divided into two parts. The first presents
comparative chapters that address cross-cutting issues in the
different countries of the region. The second part analyzes
particular aspects of the development of psychology in seven
countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay and
Peru. Throughout these chapters the reader will find how psychology
made its way through dictatorial governments, phenomena of violence
and internal armed conflict, among others. Dimensions that include
rigorous analysis ranging from ancestral practices to current
geopolitical knowledge of the Latin American region. History of
Psychology in Latin America - A Cultural Approach is an invaluable
resource for historians of psychology, anywhere in the world,
interested in a polycentric and critical approach. Since its
content is part of the "cultural turn in psychology" it is also of
interest to readers interested in the social and human sciences in
general. Finally, the thoroughly international perspective provided
through its chapters make the book a key resource for both
undergraduate and graduate teaching and education on the past and
current state of psychology.
