We live in a rapidly changing society: we have worked for the equality of men and women but violence against women is increasing; we promote economic and social development but situations of poverty and social exclusion are emerging.…
These are just some of the problems that put certain people at a disadvantage not only socially but also psychologically. Social Intervention Psychology looks to offer solutions to these issues through study of the social, political, economic and cultural scope where they take place.
It is important to note the increasing number of jobs being created in this field in Spain, both in the public sector and in other emerging fields of non-profit social action.
