Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A thorough revision that now more than ever clearly describes and illustrates the practice of community counseling by discussing the most current issues and practices for community work in the 21st century. Especially emphasized in this edition are the practices of diversity, ethics and the role of the counselour as a change agent and advocate. Focusing on how to promote change and growth, this text provides effective guidelines for planning and implementing productive community counseling programs and provides readers with a basic understanding of the role of the community counselor, the services offered by community agencies and the settings in which they are offered. The text examines four vital facets of counseling: direct community counseling, direct client services (outreach), indirect community services (influencing public policy) and indirect client services (client advocacy).

Please don't use this book in the classroom. It is very disorganized and confusing to follow. It is the worst textbook I have ever had for a counseling class.

This book was enlightening to read as it greatly extended my own thinking about the many ways that I can positively impact my clients' and students' lives. The many practical examples included in each chapter motivated me to try many of the interventions described in the book in my professional practices. and guess what... they really do work...
If I had to choose one book of all the ones I read in my graduate training program... this is the one that had the most positive and lasting affect on me....

This is a must read for students in counseling, social work, and psychology. The authors do an excellent job of clearly describing the paradigm shift that is occurring in the mental health professions... I use this textbook with my studnets and they rave about it...This is a must read book!!!!! It will truly prepare your students for the challenges they face in the future.

This is the *worst* textbook I think I've ever read. I actually get angry just reading it. The message about the need for community counseling is fine, however, when that exact same message is repeated over and over and over in just slightly different ways, paragraph after paragraph for over 300 pages, without any really communication of theory or practice - well, it just makes you want to throw the book across the room.
There's GOT to be a better textbook on the market. Please take an extra five minutes and find it.

This is not a good text book. It's not even a good book book. If you're an instructor and you're thinking about using this for a class, please reconsider. It is incredibly boring, no one in my class made it through the very first chapter.
