From the Back Cover

American schools provide a wide array of services to students, beyond those of basic instruction. Among these services are counseling, consulting, and other functions performed by professional school counselors. While some books may deemphasize the important role of school counselors and the contributions they can make to the overall educational program, this book not only explains the importance of school counseling and what can be done by counselors, but also how counselors and school can provide these services effectively. This book provides an overview of the school counseling profession, including the components of a comprehensive program of services and the current legal, ethical and professional issues that are important to school counselors. It is both a scholarly presentation and a practical guide for beginning counselors. Other topics include the history of the school counseling profession, the varying roles of the school counselor, individual versus group practice, and student appraisal. School counselors, psychologists, teachers, and educational administrators.
