Rating:  - Decent and solid introduction to Community Psychology
I purchased this book as a textbook for my Community Multicultural School Psychology Doctoral level course. It includes all of the basic tenements and theories of general community and multicultural psychology. The book reads easily and lends the practicing psychologist ideas to many areas of research. Great reference!
