Description
Community Psychology's future place in community activism is assessed relative to its unique independent origins in academia, its tradition of empirical research and strict methodology, and its strong commitment to the elimination of its own existence. These attributes, which define the discipline in the mental health field, are contrasted with the singular traits of other community mental health professions. This paper is a discussion of the history, present weaknesses, and ultimate salvation of Community Psychology.
