This chapter examines the relationship between psychology and art, exploring how this intersection has been addressed since the early days of psychological science. Wilhelm Wundt, a pioneer of German psychology, understood art as a cultural artifact intrinsic to human production, alongside customs, religion, and language. His perspective gave rise to Völkerpsychologie (folk psychology), focused on the study of cultural phenomena, and influenced thinkers such as L.S. Vygotsky, who conducted in-depth analyses of literature. Despite the initial dialogue between psychology and art, psychology’s growing emphasis on establishing itself as a natural science may have relegated this connection to a secondary plan. However, given that human thought is culturally organized and that art is woven into this cultural fabric, understanding its role in the psyche emerges as a complex and necessary challenge. Thus, this chapter proposes reflections on the use of art in psychological research. First, it discusses artistic expression as a communicative tool that transcends verbal language, using examples such as chess to expand the discussion to art in general. Next, it explores methodological possibilities for employing art in the production of scientific knowledge, emphasizing its relevance to investigations seeking to capture the subjective and symbolic dimensions of human experience.
