✦ Synopsis
an emphasis in the two areas on participant-participation and involvement of people in decision making, both emphasise the importance of bridging theory and practice, and the two approaches focus on prevention and early intervention. Further, both advocate the value of collaboration and multi-disciplinary teams. There have recently been moves to explore commonalities and ways of working together and researchers in areas such as sense of community are incorporating related concepts such as the psychology of place and place identity into their conceptual frameworks. Despite this in practice the two schools are still distinct and draw upon separate bodies of literature. In Australia, community psychology is still linked to clinical psychology and, on the whole, community psychologists neglect the physical context. The book clearly highlights the need to explore the relationship between community and environment further, and community environmental psychology provides a useful vehicle for this.
