Synopsis

This text is well-grounded in scholarship, synthesizes a number of streams of thought, and then proposes thought-provoking applications for an existing approach to social and behavioral change through social marketing. It could be used with a number of courses and disciplines. The level of detail, use of various sources and the variety of examples make it appropriate for graduate level studies. It can also serve the social marketing or behavior change practitioner who wishes to enhance or expand his or her field of practice to include upstream approaches.

- Written by a highly regarded academic in the Social Marketing community.

- Encourages Social Marketers to think beyond the downstream market of individuals whose behavior they are trying to influence to include the upstream market of individuals whose participation is needed to make changes.

- Utilizes and synthesizes a number of different strands of scholarship (the evolution of social problems, the science of framing, the process of social change, social marketing history and elements, etc.)

Media Reviews
Andreasen's book finally bridges upstream and downstream approaches to social change and takes a both-and approach rather than either-or...The variety of examples throughout the book makes the text come alive... It is a richly referenced book that is clear and presents some complex concepts in an easy to understand way... I would absolutely consider adopting this text! -- Mike Newton-Ward
Andreasen makes an inspiring case for taking the traditional social marketing model to new markets in order to influence more rapid and sustainable social change, as well as to ensure a longer life cycle for the social marketing brand... I am certain I will use it as material for a course and for seminars. -- Nancy Lee, MBA
This succinct volume provides a well-written explanation of social marketing and its application to social problems, the role of agenda setting and framing in interpreting social data, and three simple models for influencing behavior change. Academicians in disciplines related to behavioral therapy, communication, health care, marketing, and social change as well as practitioners in social marketing, public relations and counseling will find this book interesting reading and a valuable, heuristic resource. -- J. L. Allen
