NAVALLES GOMEZ, Jahir. Social psychology's wonderings in Mexico: history, origins, memories. Polis [online]. 2010, vol.6, n.1, pp.43-69. ISSN 2594-0686.

The best way to know a discipline is through its history, surely immersed of intentions and disagreements, institutional references and select forgetfulness, interrupted stories and rumors about a concept's academic life. Social psychology is not an exception. Specifically in Mexico, the history, development, origin, consequences, precursors and founding fathers of this discipline, as the knowledgeable references about its classroom presence, state- above doubt- the fact that what we know about it is what it is, since it exists by means of positive records, be they documental, bibliographic, news archives or photographic. However, this can always be doubted, and such is this essays intention.

Keywords : social psychology; history; forgetfulness; memories.
