          Abstract

          La particularidad del quehacer de la Psicología Comunitaria en su relación con la esfera gubernamental es diversa y confusa, en él se expresan tensiones y contradicciones que resultan difíciles de conciliar en un marco disciplinar rígido. Este texto propone una tentativa para cartografiar estas acciones sobre la figura de un campo expandido de la disciplina, que resulta de la superposición de tres ejes básicos que consideran los reportes internacionales de la acción disciplinar, los principios teóricos y el contexto institucional en que se desarrolla: individuo/comunidad, mejoramiento/transformación y dependencia/ autonomía. Se toman los resultados de seis investigaciones realizadas en Chile para ejercitar esta cartografía, se discuten sus alcances y se comenta la proyección que se deprende de sus resultados.

          Translated abstract

          A distinctive feature of the interactions between Community Psychology practitioners and government agents is that they are diverse and confusing. Internal tensions and contradictions arise that make reconciliation difficult within a rigid disciplinary framework. Using international reports on disciplinary action, theoretical principles and the institutional context in which interactions take place, this paper proposes an attempt to map these actions over an expanded discipline field obtained by superimposing three central concepts: individual/community, improvement/transformation and dependence/autonomy. In order to apply this mapping, we used the results of six Chilean research reports. We discuss their scope and comment on the implications of their results.

              Community science: bridging the gap between science and practice with community-centered models.

              A major goal of community science is to improve the quality of life in our communities by improving the quality of the practice of treatment, prevention, health promotion, and education. Community science is an interdisciplinary field, which develops and researches community-centered models that enable communities to use evidence-based interventions more effectively and efficiently. In this article, the gap between science and practice and the need to bridge the gap with new models serve as an entry point and guide to the development of a community science. Therefore, the article describes (1) the "prevention science" model of bringing science to practice, (2) why this model is necessary but not sufficient for influencing the quality of interventions in our everyday world, (3) the gap between science and practice and the need to integrate "prevention science" models with community-centered models in order to bridge the gap, and (4) features of community science.
