Furthermore, a brief criticism of traditional psychology was illustrated, where its negative points were highlighted. These consist in the withdrawal of the discipline from any historical, political and cultural context, as well as in the positivistic, individualistic and empiricist approach to knowledge. However, despite its negative characteristics as a methodological approach, social constructionism has much to offer in the discipline of psychology. There is an opportunity to see people not as experimental subjects but as social and dynamic beings, whose problems arise not from internal dysfunctions but from social processes, giving emphasis to issues relating to power relations and the active capacity of language to construct versions of reality. . Therefore, the social constructionist approach opens the field to a psychology that will act for and not as a tool against humanity, actively engaging in the fight against inequality and the violation of human rights.
