商品簡介
This comprehensive book provides an overview of both the theory and the practice of consultation and collaboration, along with a summary of the empirical support, multicultural strengths, and limitations for each approach. Coverage includes mental health consultation, behavioral consultation, organizational development consultation, and the processes in consultation and collaboration. Two chapters address the specifics of consulting with teachers and parents, with an emphasis on multiple relationships among parents, schools, and communities. The seventh edition contains many cutting-edge updates, including more information about empirically based interventions; alternative views of the consulting relationship; school, family, and community interventions; and recent research findings and updated policy statements. A new chapter, Chapter 4, examines brief, solution-focused, consultee-centered consultation and collaboration, an approach rooted in constructivist theory that uses the consultee's strengths to build interventions
"I believe the greatest overall strength of this text is the breadth of coverage and quality of information presented...I believe this text is one of the top texts available for my course."---Nicholas Frank Benson, Florida International University
