There is a recurrent discourse about the fragmentation of psychology and its crises as a science, which often leads to a disenchanted view about its future. To this discourse we oppose a developmental one, in which crises can be occasions for development, and in which development might imply differentiation. We first review why psychology can be said to be in crisis. We then situate the crisis in the pragmatics of doing psychology. Crises occur when psychologists have problems either working with other psychologists or with communities. We argue that collaborative research is a way to overcome these crises. Specifically we suggest three specific scientific activities that can lead to the development of psychology: collaborative research methods, the identification of nodal concepts that enable the bringing together of different approaches and disciplines, and the creation and maintenance of institutional spaces that enable creative, collaborative work.
关于心理学的碎片化及其作为一门科学所面临的危机，存在着一种反复出现的论述，这常常导致对其未来不抱幻想的看法。针对这种论述，我们提出一种发展性的观点，在这种观点中，危机可以成为发展的契机，而且发展可能意味着分化。我们首先回顾一下为什么可以说心理学处于危机之中。然后我们将危机置于心理学实践的语用学情境中。当心理学家在与其他心理学家合作或与社区合作时出现问题，危机就会发生。我们认为合作研究是克服这些危机的一种方式。具体而言，我们建议三种能够促进心理学发展的特定科学活动：合作研究方法、识别能够整合不同方法和学科的节点概念，以及创建和维护能够促进创造性合作工作的机构空间。
