This article analyses the ecological model as a dominant style of thinking inseparable from community intervention. Four essential characteristics are examined that define this thinking style: theoretical assumptions, the social construction of ecological thinking, collaborative style and psychosocial processes. From these points the role of the professional community worker and of social services is defined. A change is suggested in the action styles of professionals and institutions in order to increase the effectiveness of the work of the professional in the community.

(1) I wrote this article, in response to a request by my friend Fernando Lluch, thinking of many of my friends working in Community Psychology in the Valencia Region, and with whom I am bound by my actions, my emotions and my thinking. I hope it will provide some support for them in their professional activity,with all its ups and downs and, curiously, with so much future.
