A step-by-step resource for treating more than 40 prevalent issues
with proven strategies This comprehensive handbook for
evidence-based mental health and learning interventions with
children and adolescents is distinguished by its explicit yet
concise guidance on implementation in practice. With a compendium
of proven strategies for resolving more than 40 of the most
pressing and prevalent issues facing young people, the book
provides immediate guidance and uniform step-by-step instructions
for resolving issues ranging from psychopathological disorders to
academic problems. Busy academics, practitioners, and trainees in
schools and outpatient clinical settings will find this resource to
be an invaluable desktop reference for facilitating well-informed
decision-making. Unlike other volumes that ignore or merely
reference the evidence base of various interventions, this book
focuses on providing immediate, empirically supported guidance for
putting these strategies into direct practice. Issues covered
include crisis interventions and response, social and emotional
issues, academic/learning issues, psychopathological disorders,
neuropsychological disorders, and the behavioral management of
childhood health issues. Each chapter follows a consistent format
including a brief description of the problem and associated
characteristics, etiology and contributing factors, and three
evidence-based, step-by-step sets of instructions for
implementation. Additionally, each chapter provides several
websites offering further information about the topic. Featuring
contributions from leading scholars and practitioners on each issue
covered, this book will be a valuable resource for child clinical
and school psychologists, counselors, social workers, and
therapists as well as other health and mental health professionals
whose primary practice is with children and adolescents. Key
Features: Demonstrates step-by-step, evidence-based interventions
for more than 40 common childhood issues Provides treatment
procedures that can be immediately put into practice Covers a wide
range of mental health and academic/learning issues for children
and adolescents Relevance for both school-based and
clinically-based practice Includes contributions by noted experts
in the field
Best practices related to assessment, consultation, and
intervention have been well-documented throughout the school
psychology literature, with ample empirical support. Unfortunately,
despite this vast knowledge base, many practitioners continue to
use outdated and ineffective assessment practices, educational
interventions, and therapies, many of which lack research support.
The Desk Reference's editors aim to change that by providing
practitioners, academics, and students with a compendium of
current, evidence-based, and state-of-the-art best practices in
education and psychology. The Desk Reference's comprehensive
coverage of diverse populations and important niche matters
confronting school personnel are systematically addressed in a
uniform step-by-step manner replete with evidence-based practices
that can be implemented immediately by practicing professionals.
Doing “what works” is the basis of evidence-based best
practices, and when services work, they lead to consistent,
efficacious, and documented benefits. Composed of contributed
chapters from leading school psychology authors, the Desk Reference
emphasizes sound application and comprehensive coverage within five
topical sections: Assessment and Intervention (Cognitive, Academic,
Social Emotional, Neuropsychology); Consultation; Medical Problems;
Diversity in Learning; and Crises, Conditions, and Responses. This
comprehensive, detailed, and empirically supported resource renders
the Desk Reference an ideal, practical go-to guide for all
school-based professionals, including classroom teachers,
counselors, social workers, and school psychologists.
