Abstract

This paper aimed to reflect about the issues of identity amidst diversity

and plurality that is the subject of study in the psychology’s space. The

question is usually: How to get to the unit you wish to Psychology on

the diversity of its object, i.e. the existence? To accompany the proposed

issue, the problem of identity and difference is addressed first to

how they were thought from the Pre-Socratic philosophy to the present.

In Heidegger’s work was studied his text Identity and Difference; in

Kierkegaard’s work, his Repetition. With these notions sought to defend

the identities, which are essential in psychology, without neglecting the

richness of plurality and complexity that is characteristic of its subject,

that is, human existence.
