Where is community psychology in South African psychology? A knowledge-based perspective
Prior to 1994 community psychologists played a significant role in South African psychology as a distinct critically oriented grouping advocating for social change. However, the more widespread endorsement of social justice principles in the democratic period shifted the focus of many community-oriented psychologists to participating in more widespread national transformation initiatives. This article highlights changes in the knowledge landscape…
The Position of “Power” when Engaging Marginalised Youth
Qualitative data analysis underlines the importance of the researcher’s reflexivity, which involves the researcher’s own values, experiences, interests, beliefs, and social identities that may have shaped the research and the data analysis process. The identity of the researcher influences his or her choice of a particular research topic. Thus researchers should reflect on how past personal experiences influence them to choose certain research to…
The importance of reflective social work practice in a traumatised country like South Africa
South Africa is a particularly traumatised country that has been characterised and experienced excessive amounts of violence, discrimination and social division. Against this backdrop, South African social workers have a fundamental role to fulfil through their contributions to the healing of the country as they advocate for social justice, reconciliation and equality. Yet these contributions often come at a cost, working with traumatised clients…
Conundrums in teaching decolonial critical community psychology within the context of neo‐liberal market pressures
In this paper, we provide empirically informed reflections on the difficulty of undertaking critically inflected, decolonial praxis in community psychology within the overdetermined global order of neo‐liberalism. Using interviews with 10 alumni of the Masters in Community‐Based Counselling (MACC) psychology program at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, we extend what have hitherto been largely theoretical debates about t…

Critical health response in the time of Covid-19
This article examines the South African government’s response to COVID-19 by exploring the strong emphasis that has been placed on South Africans taking personal responsibility for good health outcomes. This emphasis is based on the principles of the traditional Health Belief Model which is a commonly used model in global health systems. More recently, there has been a drive towards other health behaviour change models, like the COM-B model and B…
Who's Left Out and Who's Still on the Margins? Social Exclusion in Community Psychology Journals
Although community psychology claims to have a social justice‐oriented value base, archival studies of publications in the field have identified deficits in marginalized group representation and a tendency for published work to perpetuate social exclusion. This disjuncture has implications for our understanding of power relations in community psychology scholarship. In this article, I analyze who is included and excluded in the participant choice…
Epistemological resistance towards diversality
In contexts of political instability and change, the value of disciplinary knowledges and the processes that constituted them is often questioned. Psychology is not exempt from this process. Little South African work has illustrated what teaching for decoloniality may mean in South African psychology. We draw on examples of curriculum design in community psychology from the Universities of the Witwatersrand, South Africa and Stellenbosch, three l…
Race and Community Practice
Given South Africa's unique history of colonization and racial segregation, understanding and working with issues of race and racialization have been of paramount importance in South African critical community psychology. This article considers how race has emerged in the supervision of community work with master's students in a community psychology practicum. Using an autoethnographic approach, we document our reflections as two community psycho…
Merging Professional Training and Community Engagement Agendas
This case study explored the emancipatory foundations of community work through a schools-based peer support intervention. We use a case study approach to describe the context in which the intervention was developed, its emancipatory theoretical foundations, and the project's implementation components and process. The findings suggest that reflexivity is a useful tool for community engagement and for articulating tensions that arise in the enactm…
Contextual Elements of Palliative Caregiving in a Low-Income Community
Despite the importance of community-based palliative care in South Africa, there is little research on the experiences of formal caregivers in low-income settings, and the contextual challenges they encounter in providing caregiving services. We investigated the ways in which contextual factors affect formal caregivers' experiences of caregiving in a community-based environment. Eleven individual interviews were conducted with participants from a…
Content and method trends in the Journal of Community Psychology between 2003 and 2007
Ongoing inquiry into the characteristics of published work and its synergy with community psychology's core principles is an important reflexive endeavour in the field's continuing development. This study examined topic and method trends within the Journal of Community Psychology during a 5‐year period (January 2003–December 2007). Content analyses were conducted on published abstracts during this period ( N =242). Most articles were empirical st…
Experiences of supervising postgraduate community psychology students at Wits university, South Africa
In this article, the authors discuss problems and challenges of supervising postgraduate community psychology students at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. As part of their community work, students developed community projects in schools in Alexandra Township, aimed at dealing with social ills such as HIV/AIDS, gangs, violence, substance abuse and teenage pregnancy. Students found community work to be extremely exhausting, stress…
