  3. ”Community Psychology” • Kurt Lewin: B = f (P; E) • Reinventing the wheel? • Social psychology • Cultural psychology • …even socio-cultural psychology • Critical psychology • …etc. – and, by the way: why psychology? • Psy and community medicine

  4. Community – 3 aspects • Critical / progressivist movement • Empowerment • Everyday life • Resources, social support • Theorizing an entity in / of social life • What is a community? How does it work? • How is one community distinguished from another? • What is the character of ”participation”? • Discursive / practical element • What are the effects of ”community”? • How are ”communities” recruited, aligned?

  5. Community in practice • Therapeutic communities Prior, L. (1993) The Social Organization of Mental Illness. London: Sage • Outside the walls: • The ”three decentralizations” (A. Prahl) • Street level: from hard asphalt to benevolent community • Intervention and spontaneity Castel, Castel & Lovell (1993) The psychiatric Society

  6. The third sector community • ”The community of the third sector, the third space, the third way of governing, is not primarily a geographical space, a social space, a sociological space or a space of services, allthough it may attach itself to any or all such spatializations. It is a moral field binding persons into durable relations. It is a space of emotional relationships through which individual identities are constructed through their bonds to micro-cultures of values and meanings (…) And it is through the political objectification and instrumentalization of this community and its ’culture’ that government is to be re-invented” Rose, N. (1999). Powers of Freedom, p. 172f.

  7. The conscience collectif of the AA • ”The total system is a Durkheimian religion in the sense that the relationship between man and his community parallels the relationship between man and God. ”AA is a power greater than us”.” Bateson, G. (1972). Steps to an Ecology of Mind, p. 333
