Emphasizing cooperation between various mental health professionals in schools, this textbook is intended for pre-service professionals training to become school psychologists or school counselors.

This section also reviews child and adolescent development. The next two sections review the theory, techniques, and applications of the most common therapeutic orientations used in schools. Cases demonstrate the use of different models with different age groups. The final section of the book reviews ethical and legal issues and discusses collaboration among professionals in schools and communities.
