LA NUOVA ITALIA SCIENTIFICA NIS 1988 353 PP. SEGNI DEL TEMPO, LIEVE ABRASIONE ALLA COPERTINA, BUONE SE NON OTTIME CONDIZIONI GENERALI. Gli psicologi di comunità esaminano i problemi non solo nella loro dimensione personale e soggettiva, come è tradizione della psicologia, ma anche nella loro dimensione oggettiva e sociale, nella quale si collocano vincoli e risorse che permettono od ostacolano l’empowerment di persone, gruppi, organizzazioni e comunità locali. Questo nuovo manuale, che fa tesoro della proficua esperienza di un precedente libro di testo, prende le mosse dalle radici statunitensi della disciplina, per poi considerare gli innovativi sviluppi europei e i contributi teorici e metodologici elaborati in Italia. Centrale nella trattazione è l’analisi delle diverse strategie d’intervento messe a punto dalla disciplina: lo sviluppo di comunità, l’analisi organizzativa multidimensionale, i gruppi di lavoro e di self-help, l’intervento sulla crisi e la gestione dello stress, la valutazione dei programmi di intervento, la consulenza e il lavoro di rete. Uno spazio particolare è poi riservato alla descrizione dei più efficaci interventi effettuati in ambito scolastico e sociosanitario. Conclude il volume un’accurata rassegna delle prospettive di occupazione per gli psicologi di comunità nel mondo del lavoro, della politica, nel volontariato e nel privato sociale, nella pubblica amministrazione e nei contesti formativi.Indice Premessa Parte prima.
