Description

Community Psychology: Challenges, Controversies and Emerging Consensus by Jim Orford is a comprehensive textbook that explores the field of community psychology. This updated edition builds upon the 1992 original, incorporating new material on inequality and health to provide a more nuanced understanding of how social settings impact individual problems and solutions. The book is divided into three parts, each addressing a key aspect of community psychology: its historical context, the experiences of disempowered groups, and the application of community psychology in practice. By examining these areas, Orford sheds light on the ways in which marginalised people can be helped by strengthening their communities. This book serves as a valuable resource for courses on community psychology, providing students with a solid foundation in the field and its ongoing challenges and debates.
