Description:
The principles of reality-mercy-action constitute the founding triad, which the Theology of Liberation provides for the construction of a liberating psychosocial perspective, which assumes an ethical commitment based on the look, on the recognition of the other, and on the mercy, which recognizes the political implications of action and direct them toward transformation and emancipation. This assumes solidarity and horizontality as a framework for action and rethinks its ontological, epistemological, and methodological bases. This perspective becomes necessary the moment that Colombia is going through in order to contribute to the construction of peace and to the transformation of conflicts, from a concrete praxis, in which frontiers between investigation and intervention are diluted, where the aim is to attempt to overcome bureaucracy, technocracy, and the patronage, and that can walk toward transdisciplinarity. From a clear and determined option for the transformation of suffering, injustice, and exclusion, which are generated in the models of governance and development of neoliberal model is reiterated on a viable and possible alternative for psychology in Colombia and Latin America.
