Brief Intervention for School Problems: Collaborating for Practical Solutions
"It has been said that common sense is not so common. Murphy and Duncan provide a refreshingly practical orientation toward interventions for the diverse problems faced daily by school practitioners." --Alex Thomas, Ph.D., Director, School Psychology Program, Miami University"The book is the best, straightforward, practical approach to the solution of school problems that I have ever read. The strategies described in the book are very user-friendly, easy to understand and implement. It has helped ease the burden of too many students, not enough time, and all of the other constraints faced by school counselors in the 90s. By using the simple, 'what works,' I have increased my effectiveness, and forged a stronger bond with students, parents, and staff. These strategies truly help students move gracefully toward improvement, with a deep sense of pride and ownership. 'What works' really does work in the real world." --Barbara A. Murdock, certified guidance counselor, Boone County High School, Florence, KY
