“As a practitioner in the field for over thirty years, I have been exposed to endless ‘planning’ sessions that are prescriptive to the point of being oppressive. Thistext ‘gives permission’ to the practitioner to allow for emergence, uncertainty, and ambiguity in the planning process. Comparative Approaches to Program Planning provides a guide for the manager, administrator, executive director, strategic planner, and CEO to embrace multiple planning strategies and the understanding of each. This is extremely worthwhile in a dynamic environment and an ever- changing landscape and worldview.”
―Paul D. McWhinney, ACSW, Director of Social Services City of Richmond, Richmond, Virginia

“This is the book I’ve been waiting for. It provides not only a linear approach to program design, but gives language to the tacit knowledge many planners have of the circular nature of their work. Both linear and circular thinking are important to planning processes and now we have a resource for teaching.”
―Jon E. Singletary, PhD, MSW, MDiv, Baylor University, School of Social Work
