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.
