Five centuries of alternative, critical and radical positions in Mexican psychology

Abstract

I explore consecutive periods and parallel trends in five centuries of history of Mexican psychology. This exploration enables me to detect alternative, critical and radical positions, and to emphasize their intrinsic theoretical value, as well as their alternativeness, their political radicalism and their critical power. With this aim, I contextualize the positions, situating them in the history of Mexican psychology and in relation and opposition to dominant, compulsory and disciplinary positions.
