Resumen:
The aim of this article is to question some of the intellectual fashions
in psychology, and show a possibility of analyzing them from conceiving
theories as dialects (Ramirez, 2011a). Initially, different records,
types and levels of reality are posed. In a second stage, theory is
defined and its relation with reality is determined. In a third stage,
based on the previous development, it is proposed that theories are like
dialects and, as such many of them can be ``spoken'' by the same
person. Finally, it is considered that the hypothesis above mentioned
contributes to a non-dogmatic analysis, which prevents, in part,
uncritical adherence to intellectual fashions of psychology.
