Thinking about Community Psychology primarily as a science may make it harder, rather than easier, to embrace certain aspects of the field to which we are deeply committed, but usually fall outside the conventional meaning of "doing science." While community psychologists use (and expand) the tools of science, this is different than saying that Community Psychology is only, or even primarily, a science. The field is just as much social criticism as it is science. In order to further conversation about these matters, seven thoughts about why (thank God) community psychology is more than a science are offered, the most basic of which is that today the greatest danger to freedom is not in the union of church and state, but in the union of science and state.
将社区心理学主要视为一门科学，可能会让我们更难，而非更容易，去接纳该领域中我们深以为然，但通常不属于“从事科学”传统意义范畴的某些方面。虽然社区心理学家运用（并拓展）科学工具，但这并不等同于说社区心理学仅仅是一门科学，甚至主要是一门科学。该领域既是科学，也是社会批判。为了进一步探讨这些问题，本文提出了七点关于为何（感谢上帝）社区心理学不仅仅是一门科学的思考，其中最基本的一点是，如今对自由最大的威胁并非政教合一，而是科学与国家的结合。
