Description: Laura Smith argues that if there is any segment of society that should be concerned with the impact of classism and poverty, it is those within the "helping professions"--People who have built their careers around understanding and facilitating human emotional well-being. Smith charts the ebbs and flows of psychology's consideration of poor clients, and then points to promising new approaches to serving poor communities that go beyond remediation, sympathy, and charity.
