AZEREDO, Sandra Maria da Mata. O político, o público e a alteridade como desafios para a psicologia. Psicol. cienc. prof. []. 2002, 22, 4, pp.14-23. ISSN 1414-9893.

The central idea of this essay is that it is necessary to include the political dimension in the study of Psychology, since the individualism that characterizes this discipline helps to maintain inequality and functions as an obstacle to plurality and the ideal of common good. Questions of race and ethnicity must be dealt with the question of racism. The author bases her argument in her own experience as a professor of Social Psychology in a public university, where she adopts Pichon-Rivière's technique of Operative Group as a teaching methodology, considering the power relations in the group.

: Political; racism; plurality; operative group.
