| Summary: | What does it mean to practice critically in community settings? How do counselors,
psychologists, social workers, community development workers, and other human service
practitioners get beyond patching up the wounded and sending them back to contend with the
toxic conditions in communities and society? What individual and organizational beliefs and
practices would support those in need while simultaneously contributing to changing social
conditions? This paper explores a model of critical community practice that highlights the
theoretical underpinnings, practical applications, and organizational implications of community
practice that is more radical and transformative. It also serves as an introduction to the four
papers that follow in this special section. |
