Through this introduction to the field of community psychology, you will learn major theories, principles, and methods in the field, apply them to concerns of importance to your own community, and evaluate their potential implications for active intervention, research, practice, and policy. Community psychology is a value-driven discipline that emphasizes community-collaboration to address social problems. It goes beyond an individual focus, integrating social, cultural, economic, political, environmental, and international influences to promote positive change, health, and empowerment at community and systemic levels.
