This article examines 10 years of production of the journal Psicologia USP (1992-2002), when under the editorship of Sylvia Leser de Mello. During this period, the basic policy of the journal was to publish critical essays on relevant psychological themes, as opposed to the publication of papers with empirical content. A multidisciplinar approach was adopted and led to the preparation of special issues (Memory, Unconscious, Psychology and Health, among others) and dossiers (Psychoanalysis and University, Psychology and Instrumental Reason, among others) in which researchers from the social and biological sciences took part, seeking for contrasts and convergencies. The journal contributed to scientific memory by publishing special issues on the work and influence of members of the Institute of Psychology ( Psychology and Ethology, Dante Moreira Leite, among others). This decade of participative effort and accomplishment played an important role in the determination of the course of the journal and prepared Psychology USP for new publishing challenges.
