De-psychologizing community psychology

Despite their welcome emphasis on the influence of environmental factors on the generation of distress, and on the central role in this of power, the contributors to this special issue still seem unable entirely to avoid 'psy chologizing' the processes involved. It is suggested that a far more radica l rejection of 'interior' psychological and moral concepts (e.g. 'self-este em', 'responsibility') could be undertaken without our having to abandon th e project of psychology altogether.
