ORNELAS , José. Psicologia comunitária : Origens, fundamentos e áreas de intervenção . Aná. Psicológica [online]. 1997, vol.15, n.3, pp.375-388. ISSN 0870-8231.

With this article we intend to provide in the portuguese language some of the main contributions of the Community Psychologists about it’s origins, foundations and fields of intervention. We have mentioned the work’s of Kelly, Levine, Rappaport and Zimmerman in order to ensure that the founding-fathers and their followers would be represented in this article. With Kelly’s ecological analogy, the theories of crisis and adaptation of Caplan and Levine, Rappaport’s and Zimmerman’s empowerment-participation, we consider that an actual article about Community Psychology is presented to our readers.

Keywords : Community; Participation; Intervention.
