Applied Roles and the Future of Community Psychology
Abstract The roles for community psychologists have changed over the past several decades. These changes have implications for training,
traditional academic roles, and the capacity of the field to maintain its integrity and further development. Changes in the
scope of community psychology as a field as well as the roles of community psychologists are described with consideration
of how they may affect participation in the field, retention of membership in SCRA, and potential directions for training.
