About this title

Review

?The major strength of Community Research is its serious consideration of a wide range of approaches to knowledge building.... Within their respective domains these chapters are all solid. Each methodology is illustrated in some detail, and the writing is generally lively and readable. Thus, something in this book will likely appeal to any psychologist not irrevocably wedded to the experimental laboratory.... This text is a thought-provoking product of the philosophical debates and methodological developments that have taken place during the first two decades of community psychology.?-Contemporary Psychology
