    Psychologie communautaire en Amérique latine: trajectoire historique et enjeux actuels
    (2009) Martínez, María Loreto; Jaramillo Torrens, Andrea P.; Santelices Álvarez, María Pía; Krause Jacob, Mariane
    The aim of this article is to describe the historical circumstances and the sociopolitical influences that gave rise to community psychology in Latin America. The presentation discusses the evolution of the discipline beginning in the late 1950s and elaborates on the historical, social and political influences that shaped its identity, including the context for the evolution of psychology as a scientific discipline and as a helping profession. Finally, two major and current challenges that community psychology faces in Latin America are discussed, namely the systematisation and evaluation of intervention and practice, and the empowerment of communities through real participation of its members.
