This paper presents personal observations concerning the different purposes and methods of a psychologist working in different sectors of community functioning including education, psychological healing, institutional management, business administration, finance, and military installations. Each of these sectors of community work required its own specific purpose and methods which were often conflicting. It is concluded that there are many different legitimate roles and functions for psychologists working in the community, and that those working in one area should be understanding and tolerant of different professional applications in other areas.
