Nastasi (Institute for Community Research) challenges school psychologists to think broadly about how to best use their training and skills to empower individuals, schools, and communities, and describes a model for participatory culture-specific intervention that is grounded in theories and techniques of applied cultural anthropology and school psychology. She urges readers to choose programs that are effective through sensitive adaptation and modification on the basis of ethnicity, race, and culture of local schools and communities.
