FARIA JUNIOR, Aydamari João Pereira; NERIS, Ana Raquel Mendes de Toledo e OLIVEIRA, Iara Peixoto de. Epigenética e psicologia: uma possibilidade de encontro entre o social e o biológico. RILP [online]. 2018, vol.34, pp.15-36. Epub 29-Jul-2021. ISSN 2182-4452. https://doi.org/10.31492/2184-2043.rilp2018.34/pp.15-36.
The following article addresses the possibility of affinity between the fields of psychology and epigenetics. It also addresses, as minor considerations, the possible relationship between psychopathologies - especially, schizophrenia - and epigenetics. For this purpose, we reviewed some articles and books that make up the foundation of psychology, psychopathologies, epigenetics and schizophrenia. Next, we outlined the psychology curriculum and the field of epigenetics, considering how the latter can impact the former and introduce new approaches and changes to the psychologist’s praxis. Based on this review, it is possible to claim that epigenetics has a great relevance to psychology and it is capable of providing new perspectives to the field of psychopathologies, both on its causes and roots or its treatment directions.
