Overview

Since the first edition of Effective Consultation in School Psychology appeared in the 1990s, school psychology research, knowledge and skills have expanded. Yet the field continues to face challenges within education systems related to budgetary constraints, changing and at times inconsistent policy directives, and ever more multicultural populations. The book's model continues to be taught internationally, and to impact on professional development in school systems in many countries. This substantially revised and expanded edition contains seven updated chapters from the first edition, as well as 12 completely new chapters, reflecting, the evolution of advocacy, research, and creativity in school psychology. The aim of the book is to strengthen service delivery models by incorporating primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, for the benefit of students, parents, educators, and present and future school psychologists. Major questions addressed include: what can school psychologists do to enhance students' learning and psychosocial adaptation?; Why is it advisable to adopt a consultative model of service in education?; How can school psychologists assist educators in planning effective school-based programmes and services?; And how can school psychologists support the adaptation of multicultural school communities?

This publication would be a valuable resource for any school psychologist. It can be recommended as a textbook as the basis of training courses and as a source of reference material, within university, community groups and school situations. It encourages creative thinking while presenting a wide range of ideas covering children at all age and school levels, the involvement of parents, individual teachers, school and community. Selma Best in Australian Journal of Learning Disabilities, Vol. 8 No. 4, December 2003 ...provides a wealth of information about the multiple and interacting influences on children's learning and behavior, and the numerous avenues available to provide effective interventions at many levels. This book is certain to have wide appeal and utility to both experienced psychologists and psychological associates who provide services in education, as well as those in the process of training...the contributions made by the various authors serve as testimony to the creativity, depth and breadth of knowledge, skills and resources that can and should be offered for the benefit of students, parents and educators.
