A rationale for the development of rural community psychology in Canada is presented. It focuses on salient issues and basic characteristics of Canadian rural communities. Principles for an applied model emphasize the importance of cultural and linguistic identities, knowledge of rural value systems, an informed approach to change, and utilization of current strengths and resources. Implications for practice include characteristics of rural community psychologists, the need for peer supports, roles and decision-making, coping with bureaucracy, intergroup relations, and ethical problems.
