Community development emerged as a recognisable occupational activity in the United Kingdom in the 1950s. Since then, whilst struggling to remain true to its basic values it has often been manipulated to serve differing policy and political purposes. This unique Reader traces its changing fortunes through a selection of readings from key writers. It will be invaluable to those pursuing community development careers, for activists, and for all those teaching, training and practising community development.

About the author

93 books25 followers
Gary Craig is the founder of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), a form of alternative therapy that is used to alleviate emotional and physical distress. He was born in 1940 in California, USA and is a graduate of Stanford University, where he studied engineering.

After working as an engineer for many years, Craig became interested in personal performance coaching and began exploring various alternative therapies. He eventually developed EFT in the 1990s, drawing on insights from fields such as psychology, acupuncture, and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP).

Craig's goal with EFT was to create a simplified and more accessible version of these techniques that could be easily learned and used by anyone. He introduced EFT to the public in 1995 with the publication of his manual, "The EFT Course," and continued to refine and develop the technique over the years.

In addition to his work with EFT, Craig is also a certified master practitioner of NLP and a trained hypnotherapist. He has trained thousands of practitioners in EFT and has authored several books on the technique, including "The EFT Manual" and "EFT for Weight Loss."

Today, Craig is retired and no longer actively involved in teaching or promoting EFT. However, his contributions to the field of alternative therapy have been significant, and EFT continues to be used by many practitioners around the world.
