A Community Narration Assessment of Master's Level Psychology Students at Antioch University Los Angeles

Abstract

Applied Community Psychology (ACP) is a specialty field of study in the Master’s of Arts in Clinical Psychology (MAP) at Antioch University Los Angeles (AULA).  Students participate in classes and workshops that present theory along with opportunities for real life application.  In the Spring 2019 quarter, eight students were enrolled in a Community Narration (CN) approach workshop to learn the theory and practice of facilitating the CN.  The students used CN to discover commonalities and differences in their experiences as students of AULA.  They created a community narrative which expressed the culture of students at AULA.  In addition, the students learned how to conduct CN in the community with application in program evaluation and consultation.  A discussion of the results of the community narrative that emerged is described, and implications for faculty and administrators are presented
