The journal Poiésis publishes the first issue of the year 2023, after going through a critical year for the world: the effects of climate change (the self-destruction of the planet has already begun); the Russia-Ukraine war, with all its effects on the world economy (inflation, energy crisis); and having reached a world population of eight billion human beings. It seems quite heroic to reach one more issue of our journal of the Faculty of Psychology and Social Sciences of the renewed Universidad Católica Luis Amigó. The editorial was written by a Philosopher, Master in Literature and professor of the same University, who also directs the Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Sociales, a scientific publication attached to the Faculty of Psychology; it is the professional Andrés Alfredo Castrillón. He presents us with an interesting text on what one is. To this teacher and colleague of the Editorial Fund, thank you very much for his collaboration in this issue.

In our first section, “Local Collaborators “, readers will find ten articles; the first is entitled Theoretical and methodological approach to psychological violence in couple relationships: state of the art, in which the authors identify the concepts and methodologies used to prevent and intervene psychological violence in relationships.

The second text is entitled Love as a perennial subject. An interpretation of conceptions of couple love in the last five years, an article in which the authors reflect on the conceptions of couple love in the last five years of the 21st century and its relationship with the ways of loving. In the third article, the authors analyze how the perspectives on affective-sexual accompaniment of the family and the school have been transformed; its title is Family and School. Transformational perspectives in emotional and sexual accompaniment.

Gender violence. Between intersubjectivity and power relations through the female body is the title of the fourth paper; its author, a psychologist from the University of Antioquia, explains here, from a psychosocial perspective, the importance of taking an intersubjective look at gender violence, a problem that must be understood as the product of the intertwining of socially established relations from the body, power and psychological relations. The fifth of the texts in this section is entitled Postgraduate programs in psychology and social sciences: a reflection after a decade of training, in which the authors reflect on the contribution and social impact that the programs have had during the 10 years of the Graduate School of the Universidad Católica Luis Amigó.

The sixth article of this edition, entitled On humiliation and contempt as forms of moral evil, reflects on the moral attitude of indignation, which implies the ability to experience and accept that humiliation and contempt are forms of moral evil that can be established in one’s own life and in the relationship between human beings. The author is a philosopher from the Universidad de Antioquia and a professional in Family Development from the Catholic Universidad Católica.

Family typologies, love and humanized upbringing: the challenge of family subjectivity is the title of the seventh article; in it the authors give an account of a reflection that links three main categories: family typologies, love, and humanized upbringing, within the framework of family subjectivity, understood as a challenge and unfinished task. The last of the articles in this section is entitled Advantages and limitations of Axel Honneth’s model of struggle. The authors review the theoretical model elaborated by Axel Honneth in his book The Struggle for Recognition, based on practical examples of contemporary social movements close to our context.

In the section “National Collaborators”, we find the article entitled Psychological well-being and consumption of psychoactive substances in young adults from Quindío; here the authors report on a research study in which they establish the relationship between PAS consumption and psychological well-being in 97 people between 18 and 25 years of age in the department of Quindío. In the third of our sections, called “Reading essays”, we find two articles by students who participated in the Academic Day of the Faculty; the first one is entitled Building and transforming knowledge based on affectivity and the dialogic model, in which its author analyzes, from a critical and reflective position, the importance of affectivity in the acquisition of knowledge. The second is entitled Mental health, psychosocial conditions and youth resistance of Medellín during the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine, in which the authors present the findings of a research that aimed to analyze the psychosocial conditions and ways of resistance that the youth of the city of Medellin–Colombia had against the pandemic by COVID-19 during the year 2020. We hope you enjoy this new issue of Poiésis.
