A review of the Journal's nearly five decades of publications revealed an early commentary entitled "Common sense Community Psychology" (Thorne, 1974) reflecting on early decisions about the discipline's professional identity and interactions with targeted communities of color and need stimulated this commentary. Considered are ways we distinguished ourselves from our parent, clinical psychology, and its focus on emotional and behavioral disorder treated through psychotherapeutic interventions. Thorne's examination of alternative pathways that the discipline could have followed are considered relative to current challenges confronting communities of color and need.
对该期刊近五十年出版物的回顾发现了一篇早期评论文章《常识社区心理学》(索恩,1974年),反思了关于该学科专业身份的早期决策以及与有色人种目标社区的互动,这引发了本评论。文中探讨了我们如何将自己与母学科临床心理学区分开来,以及临床心理学对通过心理治疗干预来治疗情绪和行为障碍的关注。索恩对该学科本可遵循的其他路径的审视,是相对于有色人种社区和有需求社区当前面临的挑战而言的。
