Psicologia USP

Aims & Scope

Psicologia USP being a vehicle for scientific and cultural dissemination, publishes original articles which may contribute to the knowledge and development of Psychology and related fields.

It also publishes material under the following sections: Reviews (articles involving available knowledge concerning a particular subject through the consultation, analysis and interpretation of related bibliography); Points of View (aims to promote subjects of relevance for scientific and graduate knowledge presenting comments that stimulate new ideas and perspectives on the subject); Brief Reports; Notices; Interviews; and Book Reviews.

The journal's editorial proposal meets the contemporary trends seeking integration and complementarity, more and more existent in the human sciences.

That trend takes into consideration the Psychology vocation to the diversity, as well as to the articulation of areas and knowledges.

If a human being may be seen as a complex biological machine, he is, however, a builder of culture and symbols, a creator of history.

Psicologia USP seeks to pay attention to the different conceptions that are expressed by that duplicity, publishing articles that reflect the wide range of the researchers' current themes, as well as the most significant debates that take place at the human and biological sciences boundaries.

The journal publishes theoretical articles and essays, emphasizing some Psychology classical issues such as Memory, Family, Conscience, Unconscious, and Alterity.
