Abstract

MOLINA VALENCIA, Nelson. Challenges for Psychology in Peace Building in Colombia: ¿Fatalism or Naivety?. Pensam. psicol. [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.1, pp.115-126. ISSN 1657-8961.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javerianacali.PPSI15-1.RPCP.

The article aims to analyze the role of psychology in a post agreement scenario resulting from the negotiations between the guerrillas and the Colombian government. Theoretical conditions stemming from war and conflict comprehension have been taken into account, and were analyzed from epistemological, theoretical, professional and methodological scenarios. The analysis demonstrated that the post agreement situation may be addressed from six categories of social psychology. The work of psychology in post agreement conditions can validate the fatalism of the experience of war or propose generative conditions for the consolidation of peaceful coexistence in Colombia.

Keywords : Social Psychology; constructionism; post agreement; living together; psychosocial trauma.
