"A unique and refreshing way to introduce students to the
profession of School Psychology. In this comprehensive text, Burns
has pulled together leaders in the profession to provide concise
perspectives on important issues and controversies. This is in
addition to providing basic information about the profession, its
history, ethical considerations, alternative roles, etc. Time is
not wasted on provision of information on specific content domains
that will be
covered in other graduate courses. A easy reading, very interesting
and informative introduction to the excitement of this profession."
-- Jim Ysseldyke, PhD, NCSP, Professor Emeritus, Department of
Educational Psychology, School Psychology Program, University of
Minnesota
"As presented in this exciting new text, for more than 100 years
school psychologists have positively served infants, children,
youth, families, and worked with schooling, but also functioned
successfully in non-traditional settings. Burns' Introduction to
School Psychology: Controversies and Current Practice argues that
we must learn all theories and practices if we are to be effective
and efficient school psychologists. The book does not offer a
single approach to school psychology practice which is what makes
the volume exceptional... It will be a book that will help you
navigate our changing world, understand societal strengths and
problems, and help you
consider how to make a difference in our dynamic but toxic world."
-- Rik Carl D'Amato, PhD, Distinguished Research Professor in
School Psychology , The Chicago School of Professional Psychology,
Past Editor of APA's School Psychology journal and ISPA's
International Journal of School & Educational Psychology.
"Introduction to School Psychology: Controversies and Current
Practice provides state-of-the-art, comprehensive yet concise,
coverage of theoretical foundations, historical underpinnings,
professional associations, and contemporary practice standards in
the rapidly growing field of school psychology. Particularly
compelling chapters focus on controversies (e.g., identification of
learning disabilities) that have significantly impacted the
practice of
school psychology as well as challenges and opportunities that will
shape future growth of the profession. A veritable who's who lineup
of chapter authors make this book an indispensable resource for
school
psychology students, practitioners, and university trainers." --
George J. DuPaul, PhD, Professor of School Psychology and Associate
Dean for Research, College of Education, Lehigh University
