Perspectives on Indigenous Psychology in Brazil
ethical and epistemological challenges
Abstract
In the last few decades, indigenous psychology has emerged as an international intellectual movement that offers resistance to the missionary proposals
of psychologies, reflected or unreflected, to promote the Eurocentric tradition under the guise of scientificity. Debates about sociocultural specificities in the construction of psychological theories and systems have been raised since the foundation of
psychology as a science and profession. However, indigenous conceptions have predominantly remained excluded, inferiorized or relegated to the periphery of debates in the field.
