Considering the concepts of “human being” and “existence” proposed by Alvaro Vieira Pinto, whereby the Brazilian philosopher offers to us a concrete alternative to the existentialist expression “being in the world”, historically locating the singular condition of world where each individual is made, not by a human essence given at birth, but rather created by each individual in the course of their existence under certain conditions. This study starts from the hypothesis that psychology in Brazil can both favor the process of awareness of the material, social and symbolic conditions in which existence occurs, as well as, on the other hand, can itself hinder. Thus, this work intends to analyze the psychology of an underdeveloped country, taking as reference the life and work of the philosopher quoted above, exploring the aspects and the very process of its intellectual production, both capable of contributing to a reflection around the possibility of having in psychology, a knowledge as scientific as revolutionary which can antagonize and overcome the imperialist processes of scientific, intellectual and cultural dependence present in Brazilian society, especially in the academic and in the theoretical-foreign formation of the psychologist. The consequent debate on these issues hopes to help promote the construction of a free and critical science, capable of challenging us in the various areas of action for the psychologist, to listen to those who do not have a voice, to think what is not obvious and to act critically in our civilizational existence in the singular Latin American reality
