Community Psychology, 7th Edition presents the field’s conceptual roots and possible applications in a comprehensive overview of the field. Clearly organized and easy to navigate, the text is divided into sections on basic concepts, social change, applications, and the future. 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.
