As we near the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of a community psychology division of the American Psychological Association, there are reasons to be concerned about the sustainability of the field. This commentary proposes a need for deliberate, systematic efforts to cultivate settings that can sustain the field. A framework for outreach to build symbiotic relationships and synergistic collaborations with persons who do not identify as community psychologists is proposed. Simultaneously, a strategy of separation from other disciplines may be needed in some circumstances to conserve settings that sustain the field. Finding a balance in these strategies is necessary to cultivate community psychology for future generations.
随着我们临近美国心理学会社区心理学分会成立五十周年,有理由对该领域的可持续性感到担忧。本评论提出需要进行深思熟虑、系统的努力,以培育能够维持该领域发展的环境。文中提出了一个拓展框架,旨在与那些不认同自己为社区心理学家的人建立共生关系和协同合作。同时,在某些情况下,可能需要采取与其他学科分离的策略,以保护维持该领域发展的环境。在这些策略中找到平衡对于为子孙后代培育社区心理学是必要的。
