Description: "Every interaction with a young person who is struggling - no matter how brief - is an opportunity for change. Now in a revised and updated second edition, this guide helps school practitioners find effective solutions to academic and behavioral problems by enlisting the ideas and resources of students, parents, and teachers. It shows how to build on the capabilities that each client brings to the intervention process, within an innovative, research-supported, time-limited framework." "Focusing on "what works," the book reviews current findings on successful outcomes and translates them into clear-cut guidelines for practice. Illustrated are dozens of creative strategies for addressing disciplinary problems, poor academic performance, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, and other common difficulties." "This book is eminently readable, informative, and pragmatic. It offers indispensable tools for school psychologists, counselors, social workers, and other child and adolescent clinicians who consult on school problems, as well as graduate students and trainees." --Book Jacket.
