This scholarly yet highly readable and practical text
systematically covers the importance, development, assessment, and
treatment of social skills of children and adolescents. Combining
scientific rigor with a highly approachable and readable style of
writing to create a practical and unique book, this volume provides
a comprehensive overview of the increasingly important topic of
child and adolescent social skills. A wide variety of tables,
figures, and practical step-by-step guides enhance the material
presented, making it particularly useful for practitioners while
offering an extensive array of recent research and models of
interest to researchers. The authors present a solid foundation of
scientific knowledge written in a manner accessible to
nonscientists and having ample practical implications and examples
for educational and clinical practice. The book is divided into two
parts--the first features a foundation for conceptualizing and
assessing child and adolescent social skills, whereas the second
focuses on the arena of intervention. An up-to-date and unique
addition to the literature, this volume will be of interest to
professionals who work with or study children across several
disciplines including school and clinical child psychology, special
education, counseling, and social work. Although many books and
other professional materials on the social competence of children
and adolescents are presently available, the knowledge regarding
these social skills is expanding rapidly, and there is a tremendous
need to keep it current. This book helps meet this need by not only
synthesizing a great deal of recent work in the field, but also by
providing new information and evidence that has not yet been
published. It also bridges an important gap that sometimes exists
between research and practice. For instance, some books on child
and adolescent social skills are clearly written for the
academician or researcher, and may have little apparent application
for the clinician or practitioner. Other materials are written as
practical assessment or intervention guides for the
clinician/practitioner, yet sometimes lack supporting evidence and
rationale. This book is aimed at both arenas.
