“…Western-oriented psychological practice is insensitive to or does not value non-Western clients' worldviews or the cultural realities which clients understand and or have been brought up to believe in (Bojuwoye, 2001;Trimble & Thurman, 2002;Swartz, 2008;Sodi, 2009). Western psychological practice relies heavily on natural science whilst ignoring the role that social conditions, power relations and societal institutional arrangements play in shaping peoples' conceptualizations of illness and associated help-seeking behaviours (Angelique & Kyle, 2001;van de Vijver, Fons, & Leung, 2000).…”

“…While there has been some attempt to define the concepts, values and ideas of CCP (e.g. Angelique & Kyle 2002;Prilleltensky, 2001), there is no clear agreement on what they are. Consequently, the first stage of this research involves compiling a list of statements that describe CCP.…”

This paper aims to provide preliminary insights into the relationship between clinical psychology and a socio-political approach known as Critical Community Psychology (CCP). Methodologically, it uses statements about CCP as stimulus material, and utilizes both quantitative and qualitative exploratory techniques, to survey the opinions of 354 UK trainee clinical psychologists. Participants' ratings of the stimulus material and their qualitative comments reveal many positive endorsements of the socio-political approach. However, themes from the qualitative data raise questions about how socio-political ideas can be incorporated into clinical practice and highlight uncertainty over the relationship between clinical psychology and politics.

This chapter provides insight into the challenges faced by independent evaluators working in community settings. Communities are complex, requiring the independent evaluator, who chooses to work in them, to possess a unique set of personal qualities and professional competencies. Social problems are complex and community members and organizations must be engaged for interventions and evaluations to be effective. The authors delve into the evaluators' professional competencies applicable to working with communities and the perspectives required to help communities evaluate their social change strategies. The authors discuss the necessity to demonstrate cultural humility and cross-cultural competence, a commitment to justice and equity, an ecological perspective, empowerment, community inclusion, and knowledge of program development and implementation strategies typical in communityoriented work. This chapter suggests guidelines and resources to assist the evaluator working in communities. It concludes with examples of results from the authors' work as independent evaluation consultants working with community coalitions.
