Description
The author presents the critical issues and concerns that will determine the future of the profession, outlining new directions school psychology must take to be a vital force in education. He shows why the continued health of school psychology depends on the profession's ability to develop consistent standards and a strong, unified identity. The author recommends specific improvements in professional training, practice, and research that will enable school psychologists to anticipate and resolve the dilemmas that complicate the practice of their profession - offering advice on ways to handle the conflict between professional ethics and school system policy on such issues as when to report child abuse. It presents useful reference material on key concepts of the law as it pertains to school psychology - illustrated by actual legal cases - to help school psychologists reduce their vulnerability to litigation.
