Review:

"I am very excited about this edition. The discussions, explanations, and topics that have been added in the Second Edition are excellent. In many cases I have had to spend a great deal of class time explaining rationales to doubting students. The Second Edition has made the rationales explicit. It is the best combination of the theoretical and practical that I have found in any textbook . . . contains material essential for students in the area of counseling."

"This book will make a great scholarly contribution to community counseling. It's great strength is that the book provides faculty with a helpful tool for giving students in social work and counseling a broad framework for understanding and practicing the broad scope of interventions needed to support individuals and families in communities."

"Community Counseling is a readable and refreshing development of key human service roles presented in the dynamic context of a contemporary urbanizing environment. This book will provide students with many useful applications of the community counseling approach. Community Counseling successfully bridges the gap between traditional counseling and the modern, social change orientation of human services."
