BOECHAT, Filipe; VIEIRA, André  e  PIZZI, Bruno. Ignacio Martín-Baró's "Historical View of social Psychology". Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.2, pp. 630-650. ISSN 1808-4281.  http://dx.doi.org/10.12957/epp.2020.52590.

This article results from the immanent analysis of the "historical view of Social Psychology" developed by Ignacio Martín-Baró in the two volumes of his Psicología Social desde Centroamerica:the volume entitled Acción e ideología (1983) and the volume entitled Sistema, grupo y poder (1989). It presents, in a synthetic way, the main aspects of his historiographic interpretation, still little known and discussed. We show that, for Martín-Baró, the history of Social Psychology must not ignore the importance of philosophical reflection for historical research; it must recognize the importance of the classics of social and political theory for historical research; it presupposes the dialectical link between scientific knowledge and social crises; it is dialectically subordinated to social and political history; does not know a linear and cumulative development; allows the juxtaposition of theories from different problematics; is part of the human and social sciences' emergence movement; it presupposes a movement of criticism and liberation from Psychology; it must take the perspective of the oppressed if it wishes to contribute to its emancipation process; it must maintain a critical relationship with the positivist and pragmatist perspective of science; it must criticize individualism, psychologism, subjectivism and elitism; It cannot be content with a limited and negative understanding of the concept of crisis.

Palavras-chave : Ignacio Martín-Baró; history of psychology; social history of psychology; history of social psychology; social psychology.
