Librarians would want such a text in an undergraduate or graduate reference collection. Many of the brief summaries of diagnostic and treatment issues provide a ready reference for advanced undergraduates and graduates. Educators and researchers would find great value in many of the topic areas associated with schools., This work is an excellent, timely introduction to educational topics that are subject of so many headlines and conversations in homes and schools., The aim of this one-volume guide is to provide teachers, practicing psychologists and prospective school psychologists with an overview of current scholarship in the field of learning behavior. The 250 entries focus not only on clinical theory, but also the common roles and experiences of practicing school psychologists. The result is a wide-ranging discussion of everything from ability grouping and attention deficit disorders to violence in schools and zero tolerance. This excellent guide will serve teaching and counseling professionals, as well as public and academic libraries., "This encyclopedia comes at a time when the topics it addresses. . . are at the forefront of American educational thought. . . .
