Butler , P. and Cass, S. (eds) (1993) Case Studies of Community Development in Health. Centre for Development and Innovation in Health, Melbourne.

This collection of sixteen case studies was a result of the Reflections Project undertaken by CDIH in 1991-92. The Reflections project aimed to encourage critical reflection in community development through the documentation and circulation of case studies. A framework of community development involving seven elements was used to select sixteen case studies for publication from the larger number collected for the Reflections project. These include: community control of decision making community involvement in action; development of community culture; organisational development; learning; concrete benefit; and new power relationships.
