The goal of this theoretical study is to explicit the theoretical-methodological assumptions of the research about the constitution and the historical development of human psychologism according to historical-cultural psychology and the materialistic historical-dialectic method. The essential elements about the constitution and historical development of the human psychologism are presented, the research method implicit methodological bases are explained and the mediation in human individuality constitution is tackled. The results drive us to the consideration that the overcoming of the comprehension of the individual being assumes the comprehension of the universal being, that cannot the identified just as an product of the own particular condition unique of the enculturation process that mediates the human condition, but in fact it occurs from the appropriation of the human condition historically-culturally built. It is conceived that the comprehension of the phenomena in the historical-cultural dimension demands an ethical and political position in the organization of actions that create possibilities for the overcoming of alienating conditions instituted in contemporary society.

Keywords : Historical-cultural psychology; Method; Human psyche; Historical dialectical materialism; Mediation.
