Community Psychology Practice Competencies in Undergraduate and Graduate Programs in Italy

Abstract

In this paper we discuss several Community Psychology (CP) practice competencies learnedin our existing undergraduate and graduate programs, which are similar to the ones taught in most international settings. We then describe some specific intervention methodologies that have been developed in Italy and in Europe. In the third part of the paper, we attempt to look at some of the challenges facing CP training programs in this time of crisis and uncertain future.
