Community Psychology, 6th Edition offers an easy-to-navigate,
clearly organized, and comprehensive overview of the field, with
theoretical roots that carry over to practical applications.
Presenting the concepts of community psychology and social change,
these concepts are then applied to various systems addressing the
human condition: mental health, medical, public health, school,
legal, and industrial/organizational. Through a unique three-part
approach, including concepts, interventions, and applications of
the theory, the book opens the field of community psychology to
students who are interested in how psychology might help themselves
and the systems around them. It then focuses on the prevention of
problems, the promotion of well-being, the empowerment of members
within a community, the appreciation of diversity, and an
ecological model for the understanding of human behavior. Attention
is paid to both "classic" early writings and the most recent
journal articles and reviews by today's practitioners and
researchers. Historical and alternative methods of effecting social
change are explored in this book, with the overall theme that the
environment is as important as the individual in it. This 6th
edition will include new topical subjects such as grit and life
success, changes in technology and their impact, interventions
based on networking, social movements and justice, dealing with
stigma, and new models of health. It will appeal to advanced
undergraduates as well as graduates taking courses on community
psychology, social psychology, clinical psychology, and related
fields.
