El objetivo fundamental de este trabajo es explorar las distintas teorías que en la actualidad son denominadas como Psicología Cultural, así como analizar las diferencias y similitudes entre ellas. Las aproximaciones culturales citadas han sido incluidas dentro de dos grandes bloques que se diferencian por sus orígenes y focos de interés. En el primero incluimos los enfoques histórico-culturales, herederos de la Psicología Transcultural. Dentro de este primer grupo hemos hecho referencia, en primer lugar y como punto de partida, a las ideas de Vygotski y Leontiev que han dejado huella en la Psicología Cultural. En este bloque nos hemos detenido especialmente en el enfoque de M. Cole. En un segundo bloque, heredero de la tradición proveniente de la revolución romántica contra la Ilustración y de la Psicología de los pueblos, se ha incluido los enfoques simbólicos de J. Bruner y R. A. Shweder y la teoría de la Acción Simbólica de los psicólogos alemanes E. E. Boesch y L. H. Eckensberger
