The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the practical aspects of social psychological knowledge and be part of its applications in the field and organizational settings. From a variety of principles that guide social behavior and its individual responses, the paper is focusing on the social cognitive theoretical applications that effectively address the role of behavior, cognition, and environmental factors to the structuration of psychological well-being and competent performances of individuals in their day to day activities. The characteristics of psycho-social problems in the field and organizational settings have their own unique characteristics. Depending on different precipitating factors that contribute to vulnerabilities in such areas, the intervention approaches may need adjustments to work with the rules and regulations of field and organizational contexts. So it is not only the demands of social-psychological support that shapes the situation in practicing with existing problems but also the interest of the student in practice, the willingness of the host institutions, the availability of potential clients that are also being attached to the success of the practical approaches of any given theory. The major target for this practicum is the Women and youth directorate of the House of Federation secretariat from which the social-psychological problems can be potentially diagnosed in terms of theoretical foundations and related applications. More on this, the specific applications of the practicum also touch individual targets in the organization that has directly affected by the incompetence and psycho-social inefficacy.
