%X ResumenEl art¨ªculo presenta un resumen de los avances contempor¨¢neos de la incidencia pol¨ªtica desde la Psicolog¨ªa costarricense con base en la difusi¨®n y la publicaci¨®n de investigaciones y acciones que han impactado las pol¨ªticas p¨²blicas. Se parte del an¨¢lisis de las posiciones de derecha (neo-liberal), centro e izquierda (socialista), para construir un abanico de avances logrados en derechos de las mujeres, derechos sexuales y reproductivos, derechos de las personas menores de edad, derechos de los hombres, derechos laborales, derechos de la poblaci¨®n ind¨ªgena, derechos de las personas catalogadas como ¡°enfermas mentales¡±, derechos de los grupos de diversidad sexual, derechos de la poblaci¨®n migrante y derechos al apoyo psicol¨®gico en situaciones de desastres. Se destaca la importancia de que los grupos profesionales se manifiesten ante los grandes problemas nacionales, como lo plantea el Colectivo Costarricense de Psicolog¨ªa de la Liberaci¨®n. AbstractThe article summarizes the contemporary advances of Costa Rican psychologists¡ä political influence based on papers and actions that produced an impact on public policy. Political stands, such as right-wing, center- and left-wing, are defined, since they must be taken into consideration to understand the relationship between psychologists and social issues. Some examples of social movements related to Psychology are as follows: Women¡äs rights, Sexual and Reproductive Rights, Children and Teenagers' Rights, Men¡äs rights, Labor rights, rights of the indigenous population, rights of those diagnosed as "mentally ill", rights of sexually diversity groups, rights of migrants, and the right to psychological support during and after natural catastrophes. Professional associations have a duty to use their knowledge to express their opinions on national problems, such as the Costa Rican Psychology of Liberation Group does, in providing a good example of political ethics.
