Full Description
Counseling Children and Adolescents in Schools is a text and workbook designed to help aspiring school psychologists and counselors gain the necessary theoretical background and skill set to work effectively with youth in schools. The dual focus on school counselors and school psychologists provides students with a broader view of the different mental health professionals in the schools, with an emphasis on collaboration. This interdisciplinary text can be used across pre-practica, practica, and other school-based field experiences.
"Without question this is the most exciting information that I have read toward equipping school counselors to serve children and adolescents."
—Wanda L. Staley, Morehead State University
"This book is a 'must read' for all school practitioners. It targets school counselors and school psychologists—two areas of specialization that you often do not find written about together! Also, the book offers a broad range of valuable information that will be used extensively in the schools."
—Bridget Roberts-Pittman, Ph.D., HSPP, LMFT, Indiana State University
