Liberation Psychology

Abstract

Abstract Liberation psychology was introduced into psychology during the mid‐1980s and since then has continued to develop not as a new branch for the discipline, but as an ethical and political way to do psychology. Although liberation psychology in Latin America was originally considered a politically oriented social psychology, it has been mainly developed as a way to practice psychology which acknowledges the political implications permeating all aspects of the psychological profession. This is due to its concern for social change and economic problems traceable to inequality, oppression, and exclusion within societies. Specifically, it has been developed as an answer to the necessity to study psychological processes and conditions that oppress and liberate people.
