Counseling, Psychology, and Children : A Muiltidimensional Approach to Intervention

For courses in Child and Adolescent Counseling, School Counseling, and Child Psychopathology. This fresh, new text takes a multidimensional four-part approach to counseling children.

This approach: 1) capitalizes on the relationships children build with parents, teachers, and other adults; 2) looks at children's developmental processes; 3) examines multicultural influences upon them; and 4) takes into consideration the variety of intervention models available.

Four chapters examine four major approaches to child therapy: psychodynamic, child-centered, behavioral/cognitive-behavioral, and family systems.

In the final synthesizing chapter, the author draws upon his experience as therapist and teacher to bring everything together through a case study that shows his multidimensional approach in action.
