Pulling together a range of responses to local and global challenges across different community settings, this book makes the case for community psychology as a responsive tool for social justice and liberation.Using insights from both academia and professional practice, this book articulates key community psychology principles, practices and values and their role across ‘psy’ and related professions. It draws on case studies from both the global north and south to show innovative ways in which communities have collectively taken action to demonstrate resistance and resilience and describes creative psychological research methods that can be used to better understand and respond to the needs of communities. In so doing, it demonstrates the value of psychology which is both embedded within and reflective of its local community, and challenges and extends our understanding of what psychology is, how it is produced and to whom it belongs. Each chapter is supported by teaching and learning activities, including reflective exercises, discussion questions, embodied activities, stakeholder assessments, case study formulations and presentations.Demonstrating how community psychology can support activities with local community members through meaningful examples of community action embedded in research, this is the ideal resource for psychology students. It may also interest professionals working in related fields, including clinical psychology, counselling psychology, health psychology, social psychology, social work and youth work.

This book uniquely focuses on community psychology and climate justice. Climate change in general has been an area of increasing interest to psychologists in recent years, particularly in its cognitive, perceptual, and affective aspects. Because communities are often on the forefront of resistance to the deleterious effects of climate change, psychologists have become aware of the ramifications of large scale resource developments, toxic contamination, and dispossession, to name a few. The current conceptualizations and approaches to climate change, however, are not adequate to today's needs. Addressing this gap, this volume emphasize the politics of social justice, going beyond internal psychological variables. it explores the legacy of colonialism, highlights the needs of indigenous peoples, and takes an expansive interdisciplinary stance including critical theory, queer theory, feminism.
