Ecobehavioral Consultation in Schools is a practical,
theory-based text that advances the practice of ecobehavioral
consultation (EBC) and teaches consultants how to develop their own
successful practice. It includes examples of what the consultant
could say at each step of the process, over 30 easy-to-use forms,
and more than 60 interventions available for download on the book s
website. In addition, the explication of EBC theory helps the
reader to better understand the "big picture" of each problem,
going well beyond a strict behavioral approach to understand
family, social, cultural, historical, and internal influences.
"Ecobehavioral Consultation in Schools "is" "the perfect companion
for students in consultation-training programs such as special
education, school psychology, school counseling, school social
work, or for any other school professional interested in working
collaboratively with teachers and parents."
Traditionally, books on parent education have focused on techniques
from a certain tradition, either behavioral or humanistic, that
could be applied to any problem of parenting or child behavior
change. These books have used a "cook-book" approach that is
frequently oblivious to environmental conditions that influence
behavior or take into account the individual differences of the
children or families involved. This book highlights the complexity
of our society and times by exploring the problems faced by diverse
types of parents, children, and parenting situations. Moreover, the
sensitive issues of parenting in unique populations are handled in
a caring, straight-forward way with an emphasis on research-based
parent education programs along with tips and strategies for
everyday use.
