Rural Community Psychology and the Farm Foreclosure Crisis.
Hargrove, David S.
Journal of Rural Community Psychology, (Special Issue on Prevention and Promotion) v7 n2 p16-26 Win 1986
Discusses socio-psychological effect of farm foreclosures and decline of agriculturally-related businesses in the midwest/plains states. Suggests that models for understanding human response to natural disasters are applicable to this crisis. Challenges the myth that rural people and communities bond together under stress and offers suggestions to rural mental health workers. (LFL)
