Description - Professional School Counseling by Rosemary Thompson
Today's children and adolescents are constantly facing new and unique challenges, and school counselors must respond to this by expanding their role and function within the school. Rosemary Thompson has created this practical and highly useful guidebook to address these issues, as well as the necessary steps school counselors need to take in order to adapt and effectively deal with them. This revised and expanded edition of Thompson's invaluable text explores these vital and necessary changes while emphasizing the inherent benefits of and need for professional counseling in our schools, making it an essential resource for every school counselor. Topics addressed include working with the demographic changes occurring in contemporary society, working with minority and disenfranchised students, the need for social justice in closing achievement gaps, crisis prevention and recovery, and academic and career planning. The most recent professional standards set-out by the American School Counselors Association are also included.
New to the third edition are chapters covering the ethical and legal issues in school counseling, working with children with disabilities, and understanding and dealing with compassion fatigue.
