Abstract

Abstract: This Special Issue examines ethical challenges in community psychology research and practice. The literature on ethics in community psychology has remained largely abstract and aspirational, with few concrete examples and case studies, so the goal of this Special Issue was to expand our written discourse about ethical dilemmas in our field. In these articles, researchers and practitioners share stories of specific ethical challenges they faced and how they sought to resolve them. These first‐person narratives examine how ethical challenges come about, how community psychology values inform ethical decision making, and how lessons learned from these experiences can inform an ethical framework for community psychology. Highlights: This Special Issue examines ethical challenges in community psychology research and practice. The articles provide concrete examples and case studies of ethical dilemmas in community psychology. Authors examine how the values of community psychology inform ethical decision making.
