Dr. Regalena Melrose is a credentialed school psychologist and licensed clinical psychologist with 13 years of experience working in schools. She is also a practicing trauma specialist and lecturer.
Why Students Underachieve gives school psychologists, counselors,
and therapists viable options and considerations when working with
children experiencing trauma. Melrose seamlessly integrates cutting
edge research with practice. I could not imagine teaching a course
in crisis intervention without this text.

Using clear explanation, example, and remedy, Dr. Melrose steers us
all towards better understanding and supporting the unbalanced
individual.
*Susan Mumper, resource specialist teacher, and adapted physical
educator*
Dr. Melrose's reader-friendly book offers a hopeful alternative to
the formulaic and often ineffectual anger management curriculum
employed in our schools. Her work is a bold and innovative 'must
read' for anyone who is serious about interrupting the tired cycle
that leaves many of our young people traveling aimlessly through
their lives without options.
*Kathryn Goria, MA, OTR, occupational therapist and behavior
specialist*
She's not just talking about big, catastrophic events like the
Columbine shootings or Hurricane Katrina, but about common events
that occur in the lives of children.
*Reference and Research Book News*
Dr. Melrose's excellent, insightful guide to effective
understanding of troubled and troubling students is the book I've
waited years to read and recommend to teachers and school support
personnel! Her description of the students and their acting out of
their traumas is so authentic one can almost hear their cries for
help, but Dr. Melrose doesn't stop there. She suggests innovative,
creative, natural interventions that teachers and school support
personnel can effect to truly assist the traumatized student to
regain the equilibrium and regulation necessary to once again
function in harmony with her/his environment. I cannot recommend
this book highly enough.
