Abstract
In the Canadian psychological literature, the term community psychology was used in 1951 by William Line to refer to the mainstream of psychology in Canada from the early 1900s to about 1950. This psychology stemmed from two even earlier trends—the philosophy of social purpose and the mental health movement as inspired by C. W. Beers and established by C. M. Hincks. The culmination of this development was the definition of health that G. B. Chisholm used as the cornerstone for the World Health Organization; i.e., that health is not just the absence of disease or infirmity but a complete state of physical, mental, social and economic well-being.
