TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Cultivating community psychology for future generations: symbiosis, synergy, and separation JO - American journal of community psychology A1 - Kloos, Bret SP - 303 EP - 308 VL - 58 IS - 3-4 N2 - As we near the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of a community psychology division of the American Psychological Association, there are reasons to be concerned about the sustainability of the field. This commentary proposes a need for deliberate, systematic efforts to cultivate settings that can sustain the field. A framework for outreach to build symbiotic relationships and synergistic collaborations with persons who do not identify as community psychologists is proposed. Simultaneously, a strategy of separation from other disciplines may be needed in some circumstances to conserve settings that sustain the field. Finding a balance in these strategies is necessary to cultivate community psychology for future generations.
