This article presents a conceptual framework for social‐community psychology that is the basis of a master's‐level training program with the same name at the University of Puerto Rico. The framework responds to the crisis of confidence in social psychology and to the selection of a social change emphasis for community psychology. Its theoretical basis and its practical applications are explained.
