Abstract
As a psychologist working in an academic setting in Nigeria, the author had the opportunity to develop a variety of social research and action projects both within the university setting and in the surrounding community. In addition, her participation in starting a new private university and implementing educational reformation has given the author the platform to practice community principles. There are challenges to international community psychology development work in Nigeria that include her reintegration into the Nigerian cultural system and recognition of the dynamics in operation and provision of relevant interventions. This chapter presents the reader with the author’s path to doing community psychology in Nigeria and offers suggestions and lessons learned for readers interested in doing international work.
