Original call for papers:
SCRA Community Psychology Practice
Competencies Contributions and Controversies: How are the competencies being
received and used in the field by practitioners, academics, and students?
In
2012 Dalton and Wolfe published in the TCP the eighteen competencies for
community psychology practice that had been developed jointly by the SCRA
Council of Educational Programs and the Community Psychology Practice Council
with input from the membership at large and the SCRA Executive Committee. The
goal of developing and issuing the list of competencies was to stimulate
thinking and actions on how these competencies are critical to the practice and
teaching of community psychology.
In 2013 Wolfe, Chien Scott, and
Jimenez published a special issue of the GJCPP (vol 4, Issue 4 2013) on Global
Perspectives on the competencies particularly in relation to the conceptualization and
enactment of education programs in Western Australia, Italy, Egypt, and the
United States
Now almost three years later we see frequent
references to the competencies by many in the field. We also hear of the use of
the competencies , by students seeking employment, by universities in examining
and mapping their curricula, by university internships in defining what they
learn and by employers, and others. The controversies surrounding the
competencies have not disappeared. International partners raise questions about
the appropriateness of these competencies around the globe (even though they
were developed for a US audience), the issue of whether competencies lead to
accreditation has not disappeared, the need for academic community psychology
competencies is now being explored, etc.
This special issue welcomes all who have used
the 18 Community Psychology Competencies in any aspect of their work or
thinking over the last three years to submit short or long pieces for
consideration. Students, faculty, practitioners in the US and abroad are
encouraged to submit.
We
are especially interested in parallel efforts around the globe and global
reaction to this American version of practice competencies.
Editors
for this special issue are Tom Wolff, Greg Meissen, and Vince Francisco
(focusing on International aspects)

December 1, 2015 to submit ideas for a contribution
