Overview

This comprehensive book argues persuasively that cognitive psychology has much to offer in the educational setting including an expanded role for school psychologists, beyond classroom management and psychoeducational assessment. Toward this end, this volume provides a unifying theoretical framework for applying new developments to the delivery of school psychological and educational services.

Reviews

...highly recommended for the professionals who work with behavioral assessment of childhood disorders in a clinical setting. - Changes An excellent beg inning book on interviewing young children that has been specifically designed for the school practitioner. It can serve as a graduate textbook, as well as provide a basis for inservice training. It is well written and informative and fills an important gap in the professional literature. - Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment This is the most comprehensive treatment of cognitive-behavioral approaches to date. It is a potpourri of opinions, practices, philosophical statements, and theoretical stances. It will prove to be a most useful resource for practitioners and academics alike. - Daniel P. Hallahan, PhD
