Four different approaches are conceptualized in terms of the effects attributed to societal factors in the etiology and treatment of psychopathology. The political repercussions of the asocial approach, whose main constituents are the medical, psychodynamic, and cognitive models, would appear to be markedly conservative. Ambiguous political messages can be derived from the microsocial approach, represented here by family therapy and theories of labeling. A clearly progressive, though somewhat contained, statement is made by community psychology, prevention, and the ecological model in the macrosocial approach. Desiderata for a paradigm that would vivify dormant seeds of political activism in community psychology are outlined in the macro-sociopolitical approach. It is argued that if community psychology is to be more effective, a transition from its macrosocial perspective to a macro-sociopolitical world view is to occur
