An important discussion is to be had regarding the complexity, degrees of complementarity, and contributions of this link, as well as its risks for the discipline of Community Psychology. In this context, this study asks the following question: What are the dynamics of public policy formulation for extreme poverty in Chile and its effect on the technical definition of the psychologists\u2019 work, and what alternatives this opens up for a discussion on the relationship between Community Psychology and public policies? A qualitative and idiographic methodological approach is used, based on Grounded Theory by Strauss &amp; Corbin (2002) and the Case Study by Coller (2000), to analyze semistructured interviews with 10 policymakers of the Chile Seguridades y Oportunidades policy and nine legislative and technical documents that support this policy. The results show that the technical work of the psychologist who participates in public policy towards extreme poverty is affected and configured by the mechanisms and dynamics of the connection between the various frameworks of meaning of policy formulation. These frames of meaning affect the configuration of technical norms that, in a dynamic of reciprocal influence between notions of reference, notions of problem and notions of solution, affect and configure the professional tasks of the psychologists, in terms of the focus of their work, their objectives, levels of intervention and interdisciplinary work.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/2&#8243;]<div  class=\"wpb_content_element   clearfix\"><style type=\"text\/css\">#ut_am_6aec724bc9ba4 { opacity: 1; }#ut_am_wrap_6aec724bc9ba6 .ut-image-gallery-item-caption-title h3 { letter-spacing: 0em; }#ut_am_wrap_6aec724bc9ba6 .ut-gallery-slider-caption { font-weight: bold; }#ut_am_wrap_6aec724bc9ba6 { text-align: center; }@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1024px) { #ut_am_wrap_6aec724bc9ba6 { text-align: center !important; } }@media (max-width: 767px) { #ut_am_wrap_6aec724bc9ba6 { text-align: center !important; } }<\/style><div id=\"ut_am_wrap_6aec724bc9ba6\" class=\"ut-image-gallery-image \"><div id=\"ut_reveal_6aec724bc9ba8\"  data-appear-top-offset=\"auto\" class=\"ut-animated-image-item ut-image-gallery-item ut-animation-done \"><a class=\"ut-deactivated-link\" href=\"#\"><div class=\"ut-animated-image-zoom\"><img class=\"ut-lazy skip-lazy ut-animated-image \"  id=\"ut_am_6aec724bc9ba4\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 1000 667'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/comunitariachile.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/analysis_public_policy-1.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" alt=\"\"\/><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">#bklyn_btn_6aec724bc9cbf .bklyn-btn { color:#ffffff !important; border-radius:50px !important; background-color:rgb(2, 170, 157) !important; }#bklyn_btn_6aec724bc9cbf .bklyn-btn:hover{ color:#ffffff !important; background-color:rgb(9, 224, 210) !important; }#bklyn_btn_6aec724bc9cbf .bklyn-btn:focus{ color:#ffffff !important; background-color:rgb(9, 224, 210) !important; }#bklyn_btn_6aec724bc9cbf .bklyn-btn:active { color:#ffffff !important; background-color:rgb(9, 224, 210) !important; }<\/style><div id=\"bklyn_btn_6aec724bc9cbf\" class=\"bklyn-btn-holder  bklyn-btn-center bklyn-btn-tablet-center bklyn-btn-mobile-center\"><a title=\"\"   href=\"https:\/\/comunitariachile.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Alfaro-et-al-2020.pdf\" target=\" _blank\" class=\"bklyn-btn bklyn-btn-icon-left bklyn-btn-normal\" ><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-circle-down\"><\/i><span class=\"ut-btn-text\">Descargar Aqu\u00ed!<\/span><\/a><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text] Autores: Jaime Alfaro, Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Fern\u00e1ndez de Rota, Paris Gamonal,\u00a0Mar\u00eda P\u00eda Martin, \u00a0Ignacia Verdugo Formato: PDF The academic and professional relationship between Community Psychology and public policy is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1515,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[117,118,119,120],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/comunitariachile.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1506"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/comunitariachile.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/comunitariachile.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/comunitariachile.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/comunitariachile.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1506"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/comunitariachile.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1506\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1516,"href":"https:\/\/comunitariachile.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1506\/revisions\/1516"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/comunitariachile.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1515"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/comunitariachile.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/comunitariachile.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/comunitariachile.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
