The present study examined the attitudes and perspectives of Division 27 (Community Psychology) members toward training roles and issues. Surveys sent to Division members focused upon: (a) background and demographic data; (b) past and present academic and employment characteristics; (c) relevance of community psychology to present employment; (d) community psychology relevance as an area of training; and (e) roles and functions which are perceived as essential to community psychology. Results indicate that the membership perceives human service topics (social planning and community change) as more important than traditional direct service aspects. The significance of the emphasis on broader social system activities is discussed in relationship to the predominantly clinical academic background of Division members.
