“At last, an exciting new textbook on community psychology that is informed by contemporary debates within critical psychology. It provides a refreshing and well-written overview of both theoretical and practical issues around psychological work in a range of community settings. Filled with examples and reflections on practice drawn from years of experience, the book is a modern handbook for community scholar-activists.”
Michael Murray, Professor of Social & Health Psychology, Keele University

“Psychology – and psychologists – are all too often disengaged from the very real challenges facing modern societies. This book provides a timely and powerful nudge to contribute our various skills and approaches to improve and enhance local and global communities. It deserves to be widely read by students and professionals alike.”
Roger Ingham, Professor of Health and Community Psychology, University of Southampton

“This important new book encapsulates an enormous range of helpful concepts and practical tools within the field of community psychology that link local action with more ambitious social and political change. It draws on a wealth of shared experience in critical community psychology praxis and is an essential resource for all community based professionals working with excluded or marginalised communities.”
Steve Melluish, University of Leicester

“This book stands out from the crowd of community psychology textbooks – it is a fascinating, compelling read, brought to life with practical examples from the authors’ rich experience, all the while educating us in critical thinking. If you want to learn about how to do community psychology, this is the book for you!”
Flora Cornish, Editor, Journal of Community & Applied Social Psychology & Reader, Glasgow Caledonian University
