John J Murphy

Solution-Focused Counseling in Schools

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"The content and organization of the fourth edition reflects a comprehensive workshop on solution-focused counseling in schools as closely as possible. For example, just as a workshop would begin with a live demonstration, the book begins with a practical illustration of solution-focused counseling that includes real-life dialogues with a struggling student and their caregivers. This new organizational feature runs through the entire book and includes in-chapter and end-of-chapter experiential activities and practice exercises that provide a more personalized experience and invite you to apply chapter content to your work and life. Although these elements were included in previous editions to varying extents, they are featured in a more deliberate and prominent way this time around"--
