Summary:

This handbook provides human service professionals with the research and practical information they need to work together in joint problem-solving endeavors on behalf of children. A comprehensive, interdisciplinary resource, the handbook offers an overview of a variety of treatment strategies, along with guidance for selecting specific interventions through consultation. In addition to providing practical tools for establishing the consultation process, the handbook also shows how to improve the interpersonal component so that parents, teachers, and school administrators can work together with psychologists, social workers, and other human service professionals more effectively. From establishing good working relationships with consultees to finding the best method for selecting treatments and evaluating consultative outcomes, readers of the handbook will learn how to use existing talents and resources to provide more efficient and effective consultation services to children and the organizations that serve them.
