From Social Psychology, an important warning to the community November 25, 2008 - Hugo Requested to circulate on the Internet and include in the Web solidarity from Social Psychology: IMPORTANT NOTICE TO THE COMMUNITY The College of Psychologists of the Province of Buenos Aires (CCP) has been declared on alert and on the occasion of the presentation to the Legislature of the Province of Buenos Aires of a bill regulating title Operator in Social Psychology. To Therefore, the Association of Social Psychologists of Argentina (APSRA) is obliged to respond to grievances spilled by the school and to clarify the situation: We have to answer detailed and clearly each of the charges: First, think College of Psychologists of the Province of Buenos Aires to argue that social psychology lacks academic foundation. In this statement the school itself is contradictory, because on one hand the accused's lack of substance and the other says it is a branch of psychology. Social Psychology is a discipline born in modern times, when the socio-historical foregrounds the analysis philosophy (Hegel, Marx, Comte, etc.) and science (Durkheim, among others), the problems of history, man and society. The academic foundations of Social Psychologist, Social Psychology Operator and other details, are given by the contributions of Kurt Lewin, Wilhelm Wundt, Floyd Allport, Margaret Mead, Gustave Le Bon, Sigmund Freud, Melanie Klein, Robert Baron, Cornelius Castoriadis, Frederick Munné, David Whitaker, Vander Zanden, Jean Leon Beavois, Serge Moscovici, Stanley Milgram among foreigners and among Argentines Enrique Pichon Riviere, Joseph Bleger, Fernando Ulloa, Armando Bauleo, Alfredo Moffatt, Ana Quiroga, etc. The vast majority of them ignored in the academic training of psychologists CPBA. We define the field of knowledge of social psychology as the investigation of the foundational link between the historical and social order and subjectivity. This involves investigating the institutions that express that order, the different forms of articulation between the subjects of these historical processes (which includes relational structures, group and organizational) and its relation to mental processes. Regarding the lack of legal basis such an assertion of the College of Psychologists of the Province of Buenos Aires is false, because the title is official, which is enough to review the CSR resolutions. RSE 606/02 3918. Even the use of the term "social psychologist" has been accepted by the Justice Argentina as in all cases where the College of Psychologists of the Province of Buenos Aires sued for usurpation of titles and honors a Social Psychologist, the school lost the case . Secondly it is true that psychologists may specialize in Social Psychology, but this does not make them better off than operators to work in Social Psychology, as a graduate degree is far from meeting the educational requirements, both theoretical and practical. A brief review of all curricula of public or private universities will be the only Social Psychology consists of three or at most four subjects cycle or postgraduate degree, while a Social Psychology course Operator no less than eighteen theoretical and practical matters ranging from psychoanalysis to social psychology applied, through the Theory of Construction Subjectivity, Theory of Relational Structures, Theory of Behavior, Psychology of Everyday Life etc. A degree in Psychology has studied Social Psychology materials does not make him a suitable professional to move into that environment, or, which is, that a clinician can read X-rays does not make radiologist. Thirdly, the phrase "psychology without Psychologists "as scandalous or injurious situation is false. It is like trying a medicine for doctors only, which the radiologists or pharmacists or nurses could not work, saying "medicine without doctors 'or' civil works without engineers" or "justice without law" is restricting the participation of other disciplines or other points of view instead of trying to usurp a unique address and a unique background. Are the disciplines related to medicine, architecture, and justice, among many other examples, lacking training itself without theoretical foundation? Does anyone could assume that these noble professions unfounded? The monopoly of the psychological phenomena in Argentina was never exclusive field of psychology. In our country, with the critical contribution of Dr. Enrique Pichon Rivière, was founded a school that breaks with an elitist conception of science and argues that social psychology, is an instrument of social change and transformation and has to be accessible anyone who wishes to be performed as a social psychologist. Appropriating knowledge, methods and tools interdisciplinary own, operate and field work to conceptualize institutional processes and linkages and to generate changes in these processes. So you can approach new phenomena experienced by subjects and the links belonging to the social, as the structural problems of society caused by poverty, unemployment, inequality, marginalization, etc.., and its link with the subjectivity of people. Fourthly, the College of Psychologists of the Province of Buenos Aires attacks Operator Social Psychology arguing that endangers the health of the population by a diagnosis made unwise or wrong interventions. This attack demonstrates a glaring lack of knowledge about the role of Operator in Social Psychology as this, by training, does not diagnose or perform psychological interventions. It is here to make a sharp distinction between the psychologist and the psychologist Social. Psychologist - as prescribed by the Dictionary of the English Royal Academy, is that person has special insight to the character and knowledge of personal privacy. " The social psychologist does not affect neither the character nor on the privacy of individuals, in view of which evil can endanger your health with a diagnosis or a botched intervention. Fifth, the College of Psychologists of the Province of Buenos Aires argues that to practice psychology in the province must have a bachelor's degree and enroll in school under the law for 10306. This is a fallacy because the law in question since Article 1st. speaks of the exercise of "professional activity Psychologist" and not "of psychology." That is, the law focuses its development on the specific degree of Bachelor of Psychology and Psychologist and no other securities. Therefore it is true that with the enactment of a law regulating the operators in Social Psychology and others, violates any regulation. A law for psychologists and psychology graduates (Law 10,306) and quite another to Operators in Social Psychology. Like schools of engineers, surveyors or architects, they all agree on activities such as civil works but each with their business. The College of Psychologists Buenos Aires Province intentionally deceives people by pretending to "college of all practices of psychology," which is not true. Sixth place in the College of Psychologists of the Province of Buenos Aires said the misconception that only a psychologist with a bachelor's degree and enrolled to intervene in institutions, groups and communities. This is not true, because if that were the case would be illegal the practice of mediation, arbitration, social assistance, training, etc. The great error of all this is to consider the operator in Social Psychology or depreciated as a psychologist as a professional who seeks to interfere in the exercise of Psychology. This is not so, however it has its workspace, its methodology, its own specific technical and business. In fact, the Operator in Social Psychology works in areas and spaces where groups of people interacting can be identified phenomena psychosocial. These are given in institutions, families, organizations, communities etc. promoting active participation against the social problems that arise, helping to find solutions. Our practice in tragedies such as AMIA, Lapa, Southern Cromañon flooding of Santa Fe, in the long period of high unemployment and several prison riots showed suitability, professionalism, and the character of social psychologists. Social psychologists' work aims to develop the space group, because when human interaction occurs when people participate in common social problems, reflection and communication among its members brings about learning and it brings a new form of adapt to reality, an active form. Maybe that's why it is a profession as questioned "who would serve a healthy, thoughtful, participatory, engaged and to combat situations of injustice, oppression, and alienation to which we are accustomed or not the current society consumer? The world is another, our country changed. We live very deep moments of crisis. The social problems we must address are so complex and severe, requiring input from all disciplines in one way or another, are concerned about the consequences they bring, particularly as they relate to the psychological resonances of the people . We believe that is imposed by at least one interdisciplinary work to address them. In our more than 20 years since APSRA psychosocial practices, we shared our work and continue to do so, with hundreds of psychologists, social workers, consultants and other specialties., Schools, hospitals, public and private entities. Each from the place, from its role or function, contributing to beneficial outcomes for groups of people, institutions or communities. All learned. We regret that we could not publicly discuss with the College of Psychologists of the Province of Buenos Aires, because the training of social psychologists in Argentina is even older than training in psychology indicating that specialization is not a simple and therefore has to have a proper place in academia. Finally, the current attitude of the executive committee of the College of Psychologists of the Province of Buenos Aires openly violates Article 14 of the Constitution, as which all people are entitled to exercise the legal industry and to associate for useful purposes and to deny the right to work more than three generations of social psychologists already working openly and without inconvenience to other provinces and are included in the nomenclature of City of Buenos Aires. This conduct is criminalized by Article 1 of the anti-discrimination law No. 23,592, which punishes anyone who arbitrarily impede, obstruct, restrict or otherwise impair the full exercise on an equal footing of the rights and guarantees recognized in the Constitution. Such a rule seen as particularly discriminatory acts which you do by being based political opinion or trade union. We hope that the debate proposal by letter to the College of Psychologists of the Province of Buenos Aires and sent on November 7 for our institution - which to date no response - can be accepted and publicly display our opinions and pooling professionals. For all these reasons we ask the school to refrain from referring to circulate false or unsubstantiated interpretations legal or factual basis, failing to report, sue for damages and criminal charges to school as an institution and as trainers of the will of the entity for violation of constitutional standards before statements. We again invite College (CCP) to create a space for constructive dialogue and unobtrusive, with the aim of providing solutions that benefit the entire community.
