EUROPE
Barcelona, Spain
The Fourth International Conference of Community Psychology, 21-23 June, 2012
The IV International Conference of Community Psychology (4cipc) is organized by the University of Barcelona in collaboration with the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
It continues the undertaking of previous international conferences (San
Juan de Puerto Rico, 2006; Lisboa, 2008; Puebla, México, 2010) of
forging shared agendas and effective answers to the social problems and
aspirations of the new century from an approach that promotes (fosters,
enhances) human development by means of social participation and
synergic action that, by transcending diversity and plurality of
positions, allows cooperation for facing existing challenges.
For this conference we pose
as specific focus of reflection and discussion the feasibility and
conditions of community empowerment and promotion in view of
psychological and social implications that current situation of crisis
and social exclusion presents to different national and local realities.
Other topics of interest are the following:
- Community development and empowerment
- Theoretical, methodological and value diversity in community work
- Community action and Public policies
- Professional and social inter-disciplinarity in community work
- Ethical and value aspects in community action and role
- Community and community action in the local-global crossroads
- Social and communitarian implications of new–computer and educational—technologies (i. e.,the Bolonia process)
- Violences–visible and invisible

Psychological
Helping and Support Research Group
at University College, London - page set up by Chris Barker and Nancy
Pistrang -updated
"The
UCL Psychological Helping and Support Research
Group is a loose association of clinical/community psychologists, led
by Dr Chris Barker and Dr Nancy Pistrang. It is part of the Research
Department of Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology, in the
Division of Psychology and Language Sciences of University College
London. Our
research focuses on all types of psychological helping and support. We
mostly study those types that psychologists call social support, such
as peer support, mutual support groups, internet support, befriending
and mentoring. "
London
School of Economics: MSc in Health, Community and
Development, based at the LSE Social Psychology
Institute. Catherine
Campbell explains the programme:
The
programme will draw primarily on community psychology, critical health
psychology and social psychology. It aims to explore the role of
community participation and small-scale collective action in public
health and health promotion. It pays particular attention to the
psycho-social processes underlying the impact of collective action on
health, and the mechanisms through which community development
approaches may lead not only to improved health, but also to
transformatory social action. Our starting assumption is that efforts
to promote health and to reduce disease need to combine top down and
bottom up approaches. Whilst the primary focus of the course will be
the bottom up dimension, emphasis will be continually be laid on the
inter-dependence of these two levels of action and analysis.
