Community Psychology Practice in Taiwan from 1990s to 2015Tsai-Chung Chou
This document summarizes the development of community psychology (CP) practice in Taiwan from the 1990s to 2015. It discusses key events like the introduction of CP courses in universities in the early 1990s. While 25 community mental health centers existed, only 1-2 implemented core CP values. CP practitioners held symposiums from 2004-2006. Challenges included most students pursuing careers in private practice and a focus on neuroscience research. Strengths were engagement with government projects and a new CP-focused master's program starting in 2011. The future of CP could include international collaboration, online platforms, interdisciplinary work, cultural diversity, disadvantaged group empowerment, and community well-being promotion.
