Abstract

Psychology today more than before has the challenge of existing in a society immersed in an unstable and uncertain environment. Far-reaching explorations ensure new possibilities such as neuroscience, quantum physics, medicine and informatics; In contrast to wars and pandemic diseases, they invite scholars of human behavior to build new paradigms that provide answers and solutions to high levels of suicide, existential emptiness, post-pandemic, mental health, drug addiction, and violence, among others. This article is oriented from epistemology to show routes that psychology as a science has provided to the knowledge of the human being. For this tour, various approaches, documents and analyses of theoretical approaches were reviewed; all this in order to assume a new look that allows us to understand people as relational beings within a bio- psycho-social-spiritual-cosmological dynamic and thus find new possibilities to achieve satisfactory levels of well-being.
