Casebook of Psychological Consultation and Collaboration in School and Community Settings 6th Edition by A. Michael Dougherty
Quick Navigation

Overview

In this practical casebook/workbook, readers “watch” experienced and effective psychologists, counselors, and other human service professionals practice consultation and collaboration. By reading and responding to eight cases, they will be able to bridge the gap between theory and practice, and between knowing what consultation is and knowing how to consult. Readers also get practice in making their own decisions by reflecting on how they would handle these same cases, and can apply what they have learned to a series of ten practice cases. By the time they finish the book, readers will have begun to forge their own personalized approach to consultation. This casebook is an ideal accompaniment to Dougherty's core consultation text, PSYCHOLOGICAL CONSULTATION AND COLLABORATION IN SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY SETTINGS, 6th Edition.
