Maritza Montero

Maritza Montero is one of the pioneers of Latin American Social Psychology, is a community psychologist from Venezuela. She has a MA in Psychology from the University Simón Bolívar and Ph.D. Sociology from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Affairs of the University of Paris.
Moreover she has done class in universities from America, Europe and Australia and she has written numerous articles in scientific journals and many books too.
I think that she is a great psychologist because she proposes a very different form of access to a community and she is committed to the liberation and transformation of Latin American societies. In fact she is a very important person in her approach. She received the Inter-American Psychology award in 1995 and the National Science Award in the area of Social Sciences, in Venezuela in the 2000
Maritza Montero does conferences often; in this picture she appears in the commemoration of 50 years at the School of Psychology of Catholic University of Chile. On that occasion, she presented "Challenges, tools and current prospects of Community Psychology”.
If you didn´t know about her. I hope now, you are more interested in their theorizations.
