In his time, Fritz Heider built an important theoretical proposal to overcome some of the limits of the psychometric approach, which had a great impact on the reorganization of Social Psychology studies. After these years, we intend to recover part of the author’s original reflections, with the purpose of
enhancing the subjective dimension in the studies on the social perception of reality and recovering the conception of the subject as a whole (one andcomplex, in the gestalt theory tradition), thus contributing to the revitalization of the contemporary phenomenological perspective in the study of human behavior.
