Reviews

In a world that is becoming increasingly aware of the unique and special circumstances that define the lives of all children and adolescents, Counseling Special Populations in Schools should be essential reading for all educators, but especially for school psychologists, counselors, and social workers. Fisher and Kennedy provide research-supported counseling strategies for students whose life experiences are particularly important, defining aspects of their personal development and their lives as students. We are reminded that effective counseling is not just about applying counseling strategies and techniques, but recognizing that effective counseling involves being aware of and valuing the many ways in which students are special and contribute to the greater good of schools. --Michael Furlong, PhD, Professor, International Center for School Based Youth Development, University of California, Santa Barbara Fisher and Kennedy provide an invaluable resource for all who work in school-based mental health. With their focus on promoting resilience and evidence-based practice, the reader is provided with cutting-edge, culturally responsive research and recommendations. I cannot recommend this book enough. --Dave Shriberg, PhD, Professor of Education, Loyola University Chicago, Editor, Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation

It is an interesting and highly relevant collection dedicated to special populations of students in school, emphasizing strengths and immediate needs. For more experienced counselors, new ideas are embedded in reminders of best practices and traditional interpersonal skills. For novices, it is an optimistic and resource-full compendium that will enhance your competence and further the well-being of your clients. --PsycCRITIQUES
