Con base en una breve revisión acerca de los significados que le diera T.S. Kuhn a �paradigma�, incluyendo diversas relaciones de sentido con otras ideas suyas, se concluye primero que estas ideas no son aplicables al desarrollo de la Psicología. En seguida, se propone la tesis principal del artículo, sin que esto se pueda interpretar como una influencia kuhniana:
en nuestra disciplina se ha tornado influyente una paradigmatitis, la cual ocurre cuando la noción de �paradigma� se adopta para establecer fronteras infranqueables entre corrientes de pensamiento que en realidad se conectan dialécticamente, mediante diversas contradicciones, entrecruces y reemplazos.
Based on a brief review of the meanings that T.S. Kuhn gave to the term �paradigm�, along with various senses of its relationships with others of his ideas, it is concluded that these ideas are not pertinents to the development of Psychology. Then, it proposes the main thesis of this article, with the caveat that it is not Kuhn ideas that have not been an influence: in our discipline, rather what has become influential is a paradigmatitis, a problem that occurs when the notion of paradigm is adopted in order to set inviolable limits between currents of thought which actually relate dialectically by several contradictions, crossovers and substitutions.
