Includes bibliographical references and index.

Part 1 establishes the theoretical underpinnings for community and system-level responses, contrasts social and community viewpoints with prevailing clinical constructs, and provides a basis for the exploration and assessment of models and interventions. Part 2 explores the application of principles developed in part 1 through major case studies, the examination of model programs, and a discussion of empirical evaluation data. The third part examines the current issues in both theoretical and evaluation research, ethical issues peculiar to community practice, and the legal and liability implications of community intervention models
