Every interaction with a young person who is struggling is an
opportunity for change. This highly practical guide helps school
practitioners find effective solutions to academic and behavioral
problems through brief counseling. It shows how to build on the ideas
and resources that students, parents, and teachers bring to the
intervention process, within an innovative, research-supported,
time-limited framework. Extensive case material illustrates the authors'
creative approach to building solutions and "busting problems" by
putting clients in the driver's seat. Filled with real-world examples
from both elementary and secondary settings, the book presents creative
strategies for addressing disciplinary problems, poor academic
performance, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, and other common
difficulties.
