Description: "Community Health Psychology is a comprehensive examination, including both historical and contemporary accounts, of our populations of color in the United States. With engaging insight, these essays describe community health psychology models that will inspire integrative approaches to health care administration for diverse communities. Based on extensive clinical and administrative experiences, the authors offer a new definition of community health psychology - one that demands improved access, communication, and cultural awareness in our systems of care."--Jacket.
