Community Psychology, 7th Edition presents the field’s conceptual roots and possible applications in a comprehensive overview of the field. Clearly organized and easy to navigate, the text is divided into sections on basic concepts, social change, applications and the future.

The book opens the field of community psychology to students who are interested in how psychology is relevant to their own lives and the systems around them. The applied chapters discuss how community psychology relates to mental health, social and health services, schools and children, law and crime, health and public health and community/organizational psychology. The new edition updates research and literature and presents developments in theoretical and research methodologies. This edition focuses particularly on description and consideration of critical theory, liberation theology, and decolonization as part of community psychology’s intellectual and value-based evolution. Examples of community psychology in practice are provided throughout the text, and each chapter also features discussion questions for students to consider. A student website and instructor resources provide further ways to engage with the content and support teaching and learning.

This highly engaging book explores social change, the mental health of the community and the importance of the environment upon the individual. It will appeal to advanced undergraduates as well as graduates taking courses on community psychology, social psychology, clinical psychology, and related fields.

John Moritsugu is a Professor Emeritus in Psychology at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington. Elizabeth Vera is a Professor in the School of Education at Loyola University Chicago. Frank Y. Wong is a Professor in the College of Nursing at Florida State University, with appointments at University of Hawaii at Manoa and Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
