Summary:

Why has mainstream psychology had little or nothing to offer about the tragic incidences of school violence like the Columbine High School massacre or the current debates raging about school testing? This book explains how psychology's aloofness and disinterest impoverishes the field and prevents it from exploiting its potential to serve the public welfare.
