This visionary textbook is the third edition of a trusted and highly respected introduction to community psychology. The editors have focused on three contemporary social issues in order to illustrate key concepts throughout the book: climate change, affordable housing and homelessness, and immigration.
Featuring a wide range of critical perspectives from international scholars and practitioners, Community Psychology encourages students to consider theories and methodologies in light of how they might be applied to different cultures and settings. It develops students' ability to think critically about the role of psychology in society, and about how the work of community psychologists can aid in the liberation of oppressed groups, promoting social justice and flourishing both for people and for our planet.
This book is essential reading for students taking both undergraduate and graduate courses in community psychology and its related fields.
New to this Edition:
- New chapters on power and racism
- Coverage of the latest research in the field, with numerous new concepts, theories, and references
- An approach which takes three critical issues as illustrative examples throughout the book: immigration, affordable housing and homelessness, and climate change.
