Some recent comments on the crisis in psychology have suggested some dimensions requiring attention. A multi-dimensional framework of relevance is suggested to deal with this problem. Relevance is defined in five elements and the problems of five types of relevance are discussed: conceptual relevance, methodological relevance, professional relevance, socio-cultural relevance, and societal relevance. At the end a plea is made to go beyond relevance to develop concern and commitment for social action.
