Riassunto

This book is a revision of a successful community psychology text. It uses an ecological perspective to integrate theory, research and practice across the diverse subject matter of community mental health and community psychology. The authors have retained the basic architecture of the book, but the thoery chapters have been rewritten to reduce jargon and other chapters have been changed to improve clarity. All examples and issues in the book have been revised to bring them up to date.
