With its roots in clinical and educational psychology, school
psychology is an ever-changing field that encompasses a diversity
of topics. The Oxford Handbook of School Psychology synthesizes the
most vital and relevant literature in all of these areas, producing
a state-of-the-art, authoritative resource for practitioners,
researchers, and parents.
Comprising chapters authored by the leading figures in school
psychology, The Oxford Handbook of School Psychology focuses on the
significant issues, new developments, and scientific findings that
continue to change the practical landscape. The handbook's focuses
include:
- allegiance to the reciprocal relationship between science and
practice to promote problem-solving and enrichment models
- service delivery designed to improve competencies of all
students
- the relationship between general cognitive ability and important
life outcomes
- the development of viable and enduring educational, family, and
community systems to support students
- increasing student diversity and the necessity of increased
sensitivity to the influences of social, cultural, political, and
legislative variables of schooling
- outlining tenable reasons why, since the end of World War II,
children from kindergarten through the secondary grades have
generally not been the recipients of a superior or efficient
educational system
- all relevant legislation, including the No Child Left Behind Act,
and the ongoing question of who or what is responsible for the
inadequate academic preparation of inner-city children
- building a cumulative knowledge base to better facilitate
students' academic, social, and personal competencies including the
promotion of positive mental health and subjective well-being
The scholarship compiled here is a must-read for practitioners,
students, and faculty, and an ideal resource for parents seeking a
scientific approach to the efficacy of school psychology practices.
In both breadth and depth, this handbook promises to serve as the
benchmark reference work for years to come.
