From the Inside Flap

"This book will be a great addition to the profession. It will fill a gap as no other book has done, in that it provides practical, hands-on applications and examples." — Mark Kittleson, Southern Illinois University

"Chapter 2 (Understanding Community Perspectives) is an important chapter and one that separates this text from others. It gives a very comprehensive overview of the concept of community, community-based organizations, subgroups, and the importance of considering parts rather than the whole." — Bonni C. Hodges, SUNY Cortland

"The writing style is very clear, straightforward, and accessible. The explanations of community, culture, and cultural competency are excellent. Doyle and Ward’s approach is unique, timely, and seriously needed." — Lyndall Ellingson, California State University, Chico --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
