In addition, a brief critique of traditional psychology was illustrated, where its negative points were highlighted. It is about the withdrawal of the discipline from any historical, political and cultural context, as well as from the positivist, individualist and empiricist approach to knowledge. However, despite its negative characteristics as a methodological approach, social constructionism has much to offer in the discipline of psychology. There is an opportunity to view people not as experimental subjects but as social and dynamic beings, whose problems arise not from internal dysfunctions but from social processes, while emphasizing questions of power relations and on the active capacity of language to construct versions of reality. . Thus, the social constructionist approach opens the field for a psychology that will act in favor and not as a tool against humanity, actively engaging in the fight against inequality and the violation of human rights.
