Psychology has been instituted from a model thought that tends to value identitarian configurations, susceptible to generalizations, in detriment of the differences which emerge in the diverse practices. These differences are, most of the time, denied and/or evaluated as deviations, errors and depreciated in comparison to the model or norm. In the past few years, this mode of thought has been questioned and criticized in view of the diversity emergent in the diverse practices, mainly in those developed with population of low social-economic level, whom are not contemplated by traditional psychological theories. The model thought, predominant in western societies, naturalizes moral values and evaluates life based on them, creating a perverse process of reproduction of unfair social systems. Working on an Ethical dimension means, exactly, to consider the values as human creations and embrace the difference emerging in diverse contexts as something that resists reproduction, as something which can provide the transformations in the modeler and excluding modes of being in the world.
