During the past quarter century, community psychologists have
worked to make relevant contributions to human welfare in community
settings and to effect social change. Working with and in schools,
neighborhood organizations, religious institutions, social
programs, and government agencies, the community psychologist has
come to understand how social settings and social policy influence
behavior and foster change that promotes individual health and
well-being. Using a social ecological paradigm as their guiding
framework, they focus on the interactions between persons and their
environments, cultural diversity, and local empowerment for
understanding organizational, community, and social change.
Community psychologists have relied on multiple methods of
obtaining data but more often, they have had to develop new
methodologies or adapt existing ones. These innovative methods have
been recorded in the American Journal of Community Psychology
throughout the years of its history and have changed the way that
researchers in the field have gathered data. Some of the areas
covered in this volume include:
- intervention;
- prevention research;
- ecological assessment; and
- culturally anchored research. This volume will be of interest to
community, developmental, social and clinical psychologists, public
health and behavioral medicine researchers, cultural intervention
researchers, and community mental health and health workers.
