Personal Lineages and the Development of Community Psychology: 1965 to 2005
Fowler, Patrick J.; Toro, Paul A.
Journal of Community Psychology, v36 n5 p626-648 Jul 2008
The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to examine and document the role of personal influence in the history of community psychology, and (b) to measure the field's inclusion of traditionally marginalized populations. In addition to presenting visually the genealogy of community psychology, results suggest that people have mattered in the development of the field independently from intellectual influence. Furthermore, community psychology has become more inclusive of ethnic minorities and women in positions of authority. Yet, representation of real-world community psychologists appears to have stalled. Implications of findings on interventions to increase representation are discussed. (Contains 3 tables and 10 figures.)
