Summary
Since its emergence during the 1960s, school consultation has become an important vehicle for delivering psychological and educational services. Cooperative efforts between skilled consultants and teachers, rooted in the principles of problem solving, social influence, and professional development, enhance student learning and adjustment while encouraging consultees to be more effective and proactive in their practice. The Third Edition of "School Consultation: Conceptual and Empirical Bases of Practice" shows in expert detail how this relationship works by synthesizing mental health.
