Psychological research has established that unemployment causes widespread psychological distress and ill health in communities but, arguably, little of this research is truly community psychological. In this paper we sketch out a critical community psychological perspective and use it to contribute to understanding of the role of psychosocial aspects of income in the experience and mental health of employed and unemployed members of low-income families in a severely deprived community context; to the development of innovative participatory methodology, and to promote the interests of impoverished unemployed people through the research process as well as through the research outcome.
心理学研究已经证实，失业会在社区中引发广泛的心理困扰和健康问题，但可以说，这项研究中真正属于社区心理学范畴的却很少。在本文中，我们勾勒出一个批判性的社区心理学视角，并运用它来帮助理解在一个极度贫困的社区背景下，收入的社会心理因素在低收入家庭就业和失业成员的经历及心理健康中所起的作用；有助于创新参与式方法的发展，并通过研究过程以及研究成果来促进贫困失业者的利益。
