Attempting to correct the lack of attention paid by the field of applied psychology to such problems as homelessness, racism and prejudice, violence in the community as well as in relationships, substance abuse, workplace stress, and unemployment, nine chapters focus on recent research findings and analyses related to a broad range of community issues. Various suggestions for interventions are introduced, highlighting the activist tradition of applied social science. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
