Abstract

Sarason (2000) argued that we are often surprised by events because of the failure to appreciate ongoing change around us. He called for the need for community psychology to develop β€œbarometers of change,” or ways of recognizing change and its likely impact. Extreme examples of this are the events of September 11th, 2001, and subsequent reactions. This highlighted the need for a nation to be aware of its impacts on other nations and peoples, and also be conscious of the perceptions of foreigners. On a less dramatic and painful level, we would argue that a scientific discipline needs the reflections of outsiders to maintain its sense of purposeful development. Β© 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
