Community psychology is an exciting, controversial and challenging
field within psychology. In this engaging and lively book,
internationally renowned community psychologist Jim Orford
discusses the latest debates, research and practices within this
growing field.
"Community Psychology: Challenges, Controversies and Emerging
Consensus" covers concepts and practices that range from those that
derive from the more radical critical and liberatory approaches to
the subject to those from health and applied social psychology. The
book engages with a number of controversies such as conflicting
ideas about appropriate sources of knowledge, what is meant by
social position and its relationship with health, and the perceived
value to the field of the concept of social capital. "Community
Psychology: Challenges, Controversies and Emerging Consensus"
offers readers a path through such controversies and seeks to
reconcile the different approaches within the field.
Based on international qualitative and quantitative research,
and illustrated with practical examples of community psychology
work, this book is an essential read for both novice and
experienced community psychologists, health and social
psychologists and all those studying psychology at post-graduate
level.
