On the basis of earlier research, an analysis of a broad range of publications and a series of interviews, this
article brings together, and then offers a preliminary evaluation of, some of the leading ideas and concepts in the
development of psychology and psychotherapy in Cuba during the last four decades of the 20th century, and up
to the year 2002. It briefly identifies and analyzes the work and diverse theories of several key figures in Cuban
psychology and psychotherapy, whose influence on the theory and practice of new generations of psychologists
and psychotherapists is still clearly evident today. Thus, it discusses the status and critical projection of those
approaches as part of an initiative that seeks social and individual transformation in the context of the reality of
post-revolutionary Cuba.
