Thinking about Psychology and its practice from an ethical-political-social foundation is celebrating a science committed to combating oppression and the violation of Human Rights. In six decades, Psychology has done little to confront the normal-abnormal phenomenon with regard to bodies considered “deficient”, often serving to control these bodies. From this perspective, it is imperative to question the hegemony of a Psychology built on the body-normative ideal which, in this sense, reflects and sustains a discourse that both victimizes and oppresses. We draw on some reflections from Philosophy, the mother of all sciences, to conceive a new perspective of the Psychology know-how. Thus, we revisit the formal indications of the philosopher Martin Heidegger in dialogue with the post-structuralist Crip Theory with the aim of proposing new paths for Psychological Science and its practice, in an effort to construct a “Crippled” Psychology.

Keywords : Ableism; Body; Phenomenology; Crip Theory.
