The epistemological anguish in psychology

This paper aims at discussing the epistemological diversity issue. Its original inspiration may be identified in what we call "epistemological anguish": a doubt on which direction to take in view of the diversity of options available today in the field of Psychology. The main problem that characterizes it is related to how we must face the existent differences among forms of generating knowledge in Psychology. We understand that it is in the limit between the possibility and the impossibility of the meeting and the dialogue that one can generate knowledge in Psychology, taking the problem, the difference, the alterity as constitutive elements of the generation of knowledge.
