Reinventing the psy practices

The purpose of this article is to criticize the legitimated role of knowledge/power played by Psychologists. In order to do so, we will start our work based on our academic practices, whether as teachers, students, trainees, extension service professionals, or supervisors, to analyze the production of a kind of professional who specializes on assigning meanings to the processes of life. We believe, based on Foucault's ideas, in the temporariness of truths and in the possibilities for creation and invention, opposing the naturalizations and dichotomizations so common on current psychological studies and practices.
