Stressing culture, community and choice, this book outlines a therapy for the new poor, a people poor more because they have lost their spirit than because they lack bread. It urges therapists to recognize and work with spiritual forces in the poor and to avoid opportunistic practical solutions that assume that they are too poor, hungry and downtrodden to care about meaning and purpose.
