SILVA, Delvo Ferraz da. Psychology and acupunture: historical, political and theoretical aspects. Psicol. cienc. prof. [online]. 2007, vol.27, n.3, pp. 418-429. ISSN 1414-9893.

This article presents the historical, political and theoretical acupuncture evolution in our society. It explores the theoretical model proposed by the traditional Chinese Medicine whose support is the knowledge acquired by the systematic observations that occurred in millennia; if it is accepted as true for all the observers, it is integrated in the kind of knowledge that easterns entitle The Traditions. This knowledge is transmitted from generation to generation up to the present time. With the approximation of the western science and the eastern traditions, due to the United Nation's efforts that resulted in the 1986 Veneza's declaration, in this paper we explain how these traditions consider the human being, specially the psyche.
