COMMENTARY


Professor Isaac Prilleltensky, University of Miami:



'This is an outstanding contribution to the field of liberation psychology.  I urge all psychologists and individuals committed to promoting wellbeing with social justice to read this book.'

Professor M. Brinton Lykes Boston College:

'A rare and important contribution from the English speaking world…Drawing on community, critical, peace, human rights, and gay-lesbian psychologies… using the case of Ireland to exemplify the complexities of liberation and feminist psychologies within the context of the global 21^st century'.

Professor Maritza Montero, Universidad Central de Venezuela:

'In 1999 Geraldine Moane presented a book that was ahead of its time. Now Moane, in this new version of that work, is including the advances created around the world during the past ten years. Particularly interesting is the way the author generates a praxis (practice producing theory; theory giving way to practice), showing how engaged work with oppressed and excluded groups can be carried out; something especially useful for practitioners and researchers'.

G.M. Greenberg, Choice:

'Highly recommended for upper-division undergraduates through professionals, this book contains and excellent, extensive bibliography that will provide he advanced student or scholar with numerous resources for in-depth analysis of many important contemporary issues.'
