Overview
What are the common pitfalls experienced by school researchers, and how can they be avoided? Conducting Science-Based Psychology Research in Schools includes the collective knowledge of both established and emerging names in the field, providing an unparalled resource for those interested in psychological research within schools.
School-Based Mental Health Services fills an important gap by challenging school psychologists to think broadly about how to best use their training and skills to empower individuals, schools, and communities. The authors urge readers to choose not only efficacious programs but specifically programs that are effective through sensitive adaptation and modification on the basis of ethnicity, race, and culture of local schools and communities.
Bullying is the most prevalent form of violence in American Schools. In Bullying Prevention, authors Pamela Orpinas and Andy Horne bring together years of experience in research and applied behavioral sciences to show how educators, school psychologists, counselors, and other professionals can address the problem of bullying and aggression in schools.
After-school clubs offer critical resources to urban youth in their passage to adulthood. A Place to Call Home does a tremendous job of helping readers to appreciate this fact. Clinical, community, and developmental psychologists, social workers, youth workers, and policymakers will discover much from Hirsch's analysis, abundant case illustrations, and verbatim field notes as well as fascinating quantitative results describing these successful after-school environments.
