Foreword Critical Psychology: A movement of rupture within Psychology

Abstract

The possibility of a thematic session in the journal Psychology Studies (Estudos de Psicologia), edited by the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas in the graduate program of Psychology, is a unique opportunity provided by the graduate program for debating and announcing what we have been producing in research laboratories. In addition to giving special thanks to the Journal’s Editing Team and the colleagues that have organized themselves to participate in this issue, the objective of these few words is to clarify how and why Critical Psychology is a movement within Psychology that seeks different ways of understanding and changing the current reality, especially of those who are at the margin of the economic and social systems.
