SILVA, Alessandro Soares da. The Political Psychology in Brazil: memories and pathways on the formation of an interdisciplinary field. Rev. psicol. polít. []. 2012, 12, 25, pp.409-426. ISSN 1519-549X.
The Political Psychology is a field of knowledge of an interdisciplinary nature and its historical development that has little investigated. This reality makes many possible directions for it are still challenging investigative and from the point of view of philosophy and the history of knowledge, research that help urge to think the relationship between past, present and future of the same. So in this article we intend to contribute, without exhausting, for clearing this situation. Particularly in Brazil, we can say that there are many issues to be investigated. So for this reason we seek to penetrate the universe of works of Victor Britto and Oliveira Vianna, authors of the early twentieth century and the institutional development of the field from the 1980s. Accordingly, this text serves as an overview map of the paths of the Brazilian Political Psychology and the various research possibilities that have yet to be addressed by the academic community.
