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.
