Community Psychology: Linking Individuals And Communities
Available To Downloads

With COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGY, Kloos, Hill, Thomas, Wandersman, and Dalton have addressed the challenge of transforming an abstract, theoretical topic into a lively and understandable subject for students. Through concrete examples and consistent pedagogy, this text helps students understand the concepts as well as how to apply them. After introducing community psychology and its history, the authors describe methods of community research and discuss how to understand communities from the perspectives of sense of community, coping, and social support. The focus then shifts to community programs and actions: preventing problem behavior and promoting social competence, citizen participation, organizing for community and social change, and program evaluation and development.Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.

Good book. did a great job. The book, however, It outlines the processes by which society and subgroups evolve and the discrepancies each system faces. From the individual all the way to the macro system, the book address several factors contributing to change. Overall a good book.

this book was very helpful. i like how easy it was to understand the meaning of some of the theories and how beneficial community psych is

This was a required textbook for my Communituy Psychology class, so I had to buy it. It is quite dry and find the author to be long winded. Maybe that's why it was so expensive- he charges by the word.

This book is very informative. I do like it. This book goes very well with my line of course work.

This book is extremely dry and way too expensive for what it is worth (textbooks these days *eyeroll*) but I am just happy that I could find it for a cheaper price here at .

Easy return. Book came used, but it was in pretty good condition. Had some writing in it, but still very useable, and the price was great for renting this book.

Thought it was hardback not paperback.Description needs to be more specific. Good book though.I need them quicker without having so much for the service.

very fast shipping very impressed with the quickness of it all.
