This paper is about the theorical methodological links between Community Psychology and Liberating Education, discussing their social ideological and ethical political proposals. It concerns an unfolding of a research conducted by the Núcleo de Psicologia Comunitária (Nucom) of the Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC), with the intention of contributing to the epistemological development of the theorical methodological milestone of the Community Psychology. In order to reach this aim, we made a theorical revision, exploring, in the trajectory of the constitution of Liberating Education and Community Psychology, the meeting of both theories, specifically in the Ceará state. This review is also based on theorical methodological elements that identify points of convergences and integration between both disciplines, as well as the social ideological foundations which reflect their view of the world. So, we point to a relevant epistemological consistency related to the integration of Liberating Education in the theorical milestone of Community Psychology, giving theorical methodological cohesion and ethical political coherence to this liberating psychological praxis, in the axis of theory, praxis and social compromise.
