Spanish term or phrase: ...se da en un vacío histórico...
This comes from an essay on the history of the psycology profession in Puerto Rico. I am completely stumped. The complete sentence is:
Ninguna disciplina se da en un vacío histórico y la psicología clínica, subespecialidad de la psicología, no es la excepción.
