Centering around concepts of self-determination, empowerment, and inclusiveness, the book details the roles of physicians, research, and residents in the transition to self-directed initiatives and greater community control. Community-focused interventions and methods, starting with genuine dialogue between practitioners and residents, are discussed as keys to understanding local voice and worldview, and recognizing residents as active participants and not simply targets of service delivery. And coverage pays careful attention to training issues, including how clinicians can become involved in community-based care without neglecting individual patient needs.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAmong the topics covered are:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         Narrative medicine in the context of community-based practice.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         Qualitative and participatory action research.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e          Health committees as a community-based strategy.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         Dialogue, world entry, and community-based intervention.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e          Politics of knowledge in community-based work.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e         Training physicians with communities.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDimensions of Community-Based Projects in Health Care\u003c\/i\u003e challenges sociologists, social workers, and public health administrators to look beyond traditional biomedical concepts of care and naturalistic methods of research, and toward more democratic programs, planning, and policy.
