Más allá de las teorías

Abstract

The Puerto Rican Journal of Psychology (reps) begins 2023 as a quarterly journal. With three publications per year (spring, summer and winter), serves the purpose to provide better opportunity for publications on diverse topics, at the same time, dedicating an issue for a special topic of interest for the editorial board and/or of social relevance. I have titled my editorial note “Beyond the Theories” because we find ourselves in a historical moment where theories remain in a vacuum if we fail to address the complex reality that we are experiencing at all levels. We are facing a climate crisis, inflation that aggravates social inequalities, poverty, food insecurity, an environment of intolerance, racism, an in-crease in femicide, gentrification, displace-ment, crime, government corruption, among many other social problems that are affecting mental health in our society and without a coherent government plan to tackle them.
