This book engages the practice of community-based psychology
through a critical lens in order in order to demonstrate that
clinical practice and psychological assessment in particular,
require more affirmative psychopolitical agency in the face of
racial injustice within the urban environment. Macdonald includes
examples of clinical case analyses, vignettes and ethnographic
descriptions while also drawing upon a cross-fertilization of
theoretical ideas and disciplines. An oft neglected element of
community psychology is the practice of community informed
psychological assessment, especially within the inner city
environments. This book uniquely suggests ideas for how clinical
practice, in relationship to issues such as race and cultural
memory can serve as a substantial vehicle for social justice
against the backdrop of a prejudiced criminal justice system and
mental health delivery system.
