Se analizó la influencia del sentido de comunidad en la adaptación biopsicosocial de latinoamericanos residentes en la ciudad de Málaga, España. La muestra la formaron 34 personas de origen latinoamericano a las que se le hicieron dos mediciones en un intervalo de 18 meses. Se desarrolló un estudio comparativo prospectivo longitudinal de carácter aproximativo, en el que se compararon las relaciones entre las variables en función del tiempo de residencia previo en Málaga (menos/más de un año) y el efecto del paso del tiempo. Las dimensiones del sentido de comunidad se relacionaron consistentemente con las variables de adaptación biopsicosocial contempladas y se observó un cambio positivo en las variables de adaptación para ambos grupos. Se presentan implicaciones para la práctica y la capacitación de los/as trabajadores/as sociales y para la mejora de las políticas públicas, evidenciándose las potencialidades del Trabajo Social Comunitario en este ámbito.The influence of the sense of community on biopsychosocial adaptation of Latin Americans living in the city of Malaga, Spain, was analyzed. The sample consisted of 34 people of Latin American origin and two measurement were carried out in an interval of 18 months. An approximate longitudinal prospective comparative study was developed. The relationships between the variables were compared according to the length of time of residence in Malaga (less/more than one year) and the effect of the passage of time. The results showed that the dimensions of sense of community were consistently related to the biopsychosocial adaptation variables analyzed in this study and a positive change was observed in the adaptation variables for both groups. Implications for practice and training of social workers and public policies improvements are considered, revealing the potential of Community Social Work in this area.

It is shown that the Medoff economic hypothesis of stacking, based on free choice induced by income differentials and training cost differentials, cannot generate unambiguous predictions. Latin American players in baseball are given as a counterexample. Means to ascertain the training costs relative to each position are suggested, as well as means to predict the evolution of positional segregation in baseball through time, using the uncertainty thesis of discrimination put forth by Blalock and previously applied to ice hockey.

Este artículo sostiene que, la Psicología en general, como la mayoría de las Ciencias Sociales en América Latina, continúa legitimando una forma de conocimiento científico fragmentario, parcelario, a-histórico e individual. Poder analizar la relación entre Psicología, Ciencia Moderna y Colonialismo puede ser un punto de partida. La ciencia moderna occidental representa una mirada del mundo, que obedece a un modelo episté-mico desplegado por la Modernidad, y que no es otra cosa, que la reproducción de una hegemonía cultural, económica y política de occidente, en definitiva, una herencia colonial del capitalismo actual. La trascenden-cia epistémica para una psicología latinoamericana, no solamente implica una alternativa científica, también implica una alternativa histórica, política, ética y ontológica.

AbstractThis article reconstructs the educational policies of the Latin American Confederation of Christian Trade Unions (CLASC)—the name of which was later changed to the Latin American Central of Workers (CLAT) —in the context of the Latin American Cold War. It provides an empirical description of its pedagogical praxis, showing how it was shaped in constant dialogue with the region's conflictive context. It explores how they viewed political training in relation to both their organizing efforts and struggles, applying a conception that brought together “action, organization and training” as integrated elements, in the run to foster class awareness, build up a “new society,” and “workers’ organized power”.
