This work is among the first in its field to deal with specific problem areas for special populations. It provides readers with a conceptual understanding of those areas and the psychological base to explore specific approaches to treatment. The book explores three primary areas: personal concerns such as depression and shyness; family concerns like divorce and bereavement; and special populations, which examines such groups as adults and young children. The authors discuss the problems and client groups that are encountered most frequently in community and school counseling facilities. Each chapter was written to demonstrate a relatively broad spectrum of ideas about helping with a specific problem or population. Both the theory and practice associated with a particular concern, as viewed by skilled helping professionals, are explored in this work. Several tables, models, examples of case situations and dialogue exchanges enhance the content and facilitate understanding.
