Becoming Ecological by James G Kelly
Emphasizes an ecological approach to mental health by focusing on the individual in the environment and the influences that shape and change behavior. This book brings together thirteen publications as well as four essays on issues in the field: the theory, research, practice, and education of community psychologists.
In Becoming Ecological, Jim Kelly takes the reader on a scholarly journey through the development of his most influential ideasAlong this journey, he shows readers that his personal experiences and his scholarship are closely linked, reflecting the principles he articulates in his ecological view of psychology. Kelly's ideas remain fresh, relevant, provocative, and compelling. I have no doubt that the pages of my copy of Becoming Ecological will rapidly become dog-eared. * Robin Lin Miller, Associate Professor of Psychology, Michigan State University *

Because of these characteristics, the volume challenges conventional wisdom about what psychology is and what it might be. * Lonnie R. Snowden, Professor, School of Social Welfare, University of California, Berkeley *
