Lonnie R. Snowden – författare

Originally published in 1979, the primary emphasis in Social and Psychological Research in Community Settings is on research-oriented interventions. The focus of the book is two-fold: to showcase model research studies of change in community contexts and to present the process of carrying out such studies – the “behind the scenes" material that is usually omitted from formal research reports. It was hoped that the book would serve as a catalyst to rigorous thinking about community psychology and as a resource book to psychologists and social scientists who were willing to take the plunge into community work. Today it can be read in its historical context.
