This work aims to incite a reflection concerning the psychologist’s role coming from the
problematics that have involved the appearance of the professionals that make up the so
called disciplines in function of psi. Hence an appraisal is formulated as a critique on the
permanent demand of the institutions and the implications of the psychologists in them. In
addition, some historical aspects that led to the presence of professional intervention in the
normalization and promotion of the social structure inquiring its appearance in function of a
demanding society will be outlined. It is necessary to mention that, beyond what we could
propose as a way out of what psychology ideally could do to avoid the problematics that we
contemplate, it is rather a call to consistently think psychology, the current psychologist’s
role and to promote the critical practice it requires.
