We are defending the thesis that it is possible to deduce from Martin-Baró´s textual work an outline of an ethic-political project for Psychology. The general goal was to critically learn - through historical research - the process and development of the author's propositions about the theme. Our primary sources were his writings (scientific articles published in newspapers, books, poems, etc.) and some of his prominent interlocutors in contemporaneity. Regarding the method, we relied on historical-dialectical materialism to gather units of analysis and data exposure. The first part of the research contains an essay on the relations between method and its historicity, in terms of Concrete Psychology. We have also presented the central categories of this study, praxis and historicity. The second presents a panel of socio-historical and political-economic conditions in Latin America between the 1960s and 1990s, specifically the class struggle and the civil war in El Salvador. We have also considered the ethical and political meanings that we have used throughout this thesis. In the third and fourth chapters, we are discussing how the debaters of Ignacio Martín-Baró's work portray him from the standpoint of a revolutionary theorist to a submissive and unrecognizable post-social constructionist. We are finishing with a more critical incursion of the central aspects that are the original traits of how he had related psychological science and political praxis, namely: the rise of the party that has been exploited by capitalism, the centrality of historicity to scientific method in the human sciences; the apprehension of class struggle as part of the “what makes of” Psychology and the articulation between ideology, science and ethics. The research concludes that, at the beginning of the 21st century, there were no consensus amongst researchers who had touch around what had been proposed by the Jesuit - a psychology that prevailed for revolutionary praxis. It hangs between divergences ranging from the use of certain concepts / categories to the discussion that shows if the set of ethical-political and professional orientations should have been as a horizon to the human emancipation or politics
