Review

"[...]I would strongly recommend this impressive, coherent, and principled book. It could broaden the community psychologists' horizons and suggest some solutions to the kinds of dilemmas and problems that can bog us down so much."
(Mark Burton, Manchester Learning Disability Partnership, Journal of Community and Applied Social Psychology, 13:4, July-August 2003)
