The best in my area


Hi, now I'm gonna talk about the best in psychology. He's Ignacio Martin-Baró. He was born in Valladolid, Spain in 1942 and died in El Salvador in 1989. He was a social psychologist, and was also a priest. He had an important role in El Salvador during 70's. He taught psychology in many universities and wrote 11 books and many scientific and cultural articles.
I think he's important to psychology because he tried very hard learning about the real problems of the people. He always stressed the importance of studying psychology in a different way, taking distance from the american perspective. I think he's the best because he wasn't just a psychology, he always cared about people and try to understand them from their life and their problems and not from a theory, he always tried to use psychology to free people from their chains.
