community psychology seems to be such (relatively) uncharted territory, and as a sociology student who's taken classes on both medical and psychological sociology i didn't really feel as though i learned anything particularly new from this - so how am i to rate this, really

Very informative as it gives an introduction to community psychology, its perspectives, theories and models involved. Would be very useful if you study or you are interested in psychology.
