This is a book on the Delancey Street Foundation in San Francisco. Delancey is like a halfway house setting, but also runs businesses, features a social club, and engages in social action. In this way is is holistic in it's services. A key point made in the book is that Delancey reconciles the dilemma between individual responsibility and social causation for drug abuse, crime, etc. This is a book in applied Humanistic Psychology. A technical appendix updates Hampden-Turner's 10 part theory of human personality, development, motivation, and values, which was originally published in Radical Man. It is also an application of the ideas he developed about community development corporations in From Poverty to Dignity.
