Abstract: This work aims to reveal some aspects of the scientific domain 
of Psychology, in the context of the internationally visible Spanish 
science in the databases of the Citation Index of The Institute for 
Scientific Information (ISI), which is represented by a map. We used the 
methodology of cocitation of thematic categories (JCR-Thompson 
Scientific), with which we obtained a representation of the scientific 
activity. The resulting map allowed us to focus on the area of Psychology, 
whose representation acts as database for the analysis of this discipline 
in the scientific field with international visibility. This study offers 
an empirical view of the underlying structure of Spanish Psychology. This 
is important because most scientists have an intuitive idea of this 
structure, but this may or may not be real. This way, we present a global 
vision of the entire discipline that favours its objective analysis as a 
function of scientists' behaviour as it affects their patterns of 
communication through the established formal channels.
