This paper presents the reconstruction of some aspects of the practice of Chilean psychology in two critical areas; Community SocialPsychology and Human Rights Psychology. It discusses the character of these practices which arose during the 1960s and 1970s asan expression of dissent. It is suggested that they were the result of certain social conditions in which they actually represented alternativesto the dominant forms of psychology, and practices of political resistance to the social conditions prevailing at that time.
