Abstract

Psychology as a human and social field plays a crucial role for peace building processes in Colombia as it implies a wide platform of knowledges and practices addressing to the comprehension and intervention of subjective processes. Victims attention and services along with DDR processes of different armed groups are some of the challenges for the professionals involved in the transition from pain and protracted violence of a society that hasn’t had much time to provide meaning to a war lasting more than 60 years. Psychology is one of the most popular careers in Colombia, thus professional education in this field requires a lot of work in terms of debate and problematization of its own links with justice pursuit and on how it contributes to peace building and social fabric reconstruction.
