description	This article examines Prilleltensky's concept of psychopolitical validity in terms of its locus within the continuum of individual‐relational‐collective well‐being. It argues that the strength of Prilleltensky's position is its emphasis on the need for structural changes in power relationships rather than the imposition of ameliorative interventions. Political action, however, is necessary to advance human well‐being by reducing power inequities. To do so, it is argued requires action that is targeted, measured, and replicable. Empowerment though action alone can become lasting. For that reason, the concept of “praxis” and its implications for the design of empowerment initiatives need to be understood and incorporated within discussions of psychopolitical validity. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
