Publisher's Summary

Modello is an inspirational true story from beginning to end of how Dr. Roger Mills and staff accomplished the "miracle" in the Modello and Homestead Gardens Housing Projects, applying the Three Principles/Health Realization approach based on an innovative spiritual psychology. 

Through extensive interviews with residents as well as Dr. Mills, his staff, and other professionals, a compelling and moving portrait is painted of how two low-income, inner-city housing projects replete with violence, crack, drug gangs, abuse, welfare dependency and hopelessness were completely turned around within two-and-a-half years. This book shows how people who lived in the most dire circumstances and on whom society has virtually given up were reached, came to find hope, and completely changed their lives. It is also a sociological study, showing how a new and different inside-out paradigm, which on the surface seems too simplistic and backward to work in such overwhelming conditions, can produce inconceivable results and create changes in people’s lives that stand head and shoulders above results from the traditional outside-in paradigm in prevention, human services, social work, community development, and education. This has vast implications for improving humanity’s social ills.
