“…A growing literature is focusing on new interpretations of the history of psychological concepts and theories (Engelmann, 2002; Castro, Andrade, & Muller, 2006; Oliveira & Pires, 2007; Vasconcellos & Vasconcellos, 2007; Araújo, 2009); on the history of social psychology in Brazil, an area that experienced an important expansion in the contemporary period with original contributions stemming from the critical perspective held by Professor Silvia Lane and her group at the Catholic University of São Paulo and by the Brazilian Association of Social Psychology (Bomfim, 2003, 2006; Ferreira, 2006; Bock, Ferreira, Gonçalves, & Furtado, 2007; Guedes, 2007); the history of the teaching of psychology in Brazil (Bomfim, 2004; Gauer & Gomes, 2002); and, the history of behavior analysis in Brazil (Miranda & Cirino, 2010; Lopes, Miranda, Nascimento, & Cirino, 2008). In the last few years, new areas in the country and historical periods are being covered, and a renewed and more complete picture of the historical development of psychology in Brazil, as well as of its relationship to Brazilian society and culture is now possible.…”

The evolution of the historiography of psychology in Brazil is surveyed, to describe how the field has evolved from the seminal works of the pioneer, mostly self-taught, psychologists, to the now professional historians working from a variety of theoretical models and methods of inquiry. The first accounts of the history of psychology written by Brazilians and by foreigners are surveyed, as well as the recent works made by researchers linked to the Work Group on the History of Psychology of the Brazilian Association of Research and Graduate Education in Psychology and published in periodicals such as Memorandum and Mnemosine. The present historiography focuses mainly the relationship of psychological knowledge to specific social and cultural conditions, emphasizing themes such as women's participation in the construction of the field, the development of psychology as a science and as a profession in education and health, and the development of psychology as an expression of Brazilian culture and of the experience of resistance of local communities to domination. To reveal this process of identity construction, a cultural historiography is an important tool, coupled with methodological pluralism.
