As the COVID-19 pandemic has hit every single aspect of our lives, the attention to “community” naturally has increased. By applying the lens of community psychology to the current phenomena we are experiencing, I hope we can understand how to make our commutities more successful in dealing with this unprecedented situation. While the scientific data in the psychology field is not available yet, I used the database of popular press media published in South Korea from January 20, 2020 to August 08, 2020 to estimate the public needs related to our communities. The data showed our conflicting boundaries of communities, vulnerable communities, and successful communities. Suggestions are made to clinical psychologists as practitioners, as researchers, and as citizens.
