My favorite subject =)

Hi everyone! Today I am going to talk to you about my favorite subject this term, this is community psychology. The subject is developed by a group of teachers formed by Germán Rozas, Rodolfo Sapiains and Rodrigo Quiroz. I really like this subject because I am very interested in issues of social conflicts, specially poverty and environmental problems, I also like the community perspective of social processes. This semester I have learnt about perspectives on the discipline, its goals and objectives, forms and general working definitions of community psychology in relation to historical, geographical and sociocultural contexts wich it was developed in. We also treated the concept of community and the evolution of this concept, the sense of community, the types of community, the notion of social practice, the modernity and the construction of social problems in community psychology. Other themes treated were the community mental health approach, the systemic perspective, the strengthening and social change approach, and finally the approach of social capital and citizenship. Some of the most interesting themes for me were poverty, social and urban segregation, social representations, collective memory and its relationship with the community, and the relationship between community psychology and public politics. I invite you to internalize in this interesting branch of psychology, greetings!
