"This should become a standard graduate school text for up-and-coming school counselors. The author knows school counseling, school counselors, and what school counselors face on a daily basis. This book helps it all make sense, and makes it even easier to grow as a counselor." —Gloria Avolio DePaul, Elementary School Counselor School District of Hillsborough County, Tampa, FL Blend individual therapeutic approaches into a model that works for you! The process of behavioral change often transcends any single counseling methodology. However, successfully employing diverse intervention strategies requires a coherent framework and an integrated approach. Richard D. Parsons presents a transtheoretical, or eclectic, model school counselors can use to evaluate student information, select the most effective interventions from a variety of theories, and coordinate the interventions with sequential steps for behavioral change. Following the format of the companion books on behavioral, cognitive, and solution-focused school counseling, this concise text includes: A reflective, meaning-making model as a basis for effective school counseling An introduction to the fundamental principles of eclectic or transtheoretical practice Clinical illustrations of eclectic intervention strategies that promote change In-depth case studies and guided practice exercises Ideal for individual study or for use in group development, this practical guide allows new and less experienced practitioners to grow from "novice" to "expert" through ample opportunities for practice and feedback.

Stephen Palmer is Joint award winner of the Annual Counselling Psychology Award for outstanding professional and scientific contribution to Counselling Psychology in Britain for 2000. `The editors′ support for the integrative project is clear, but the book will hold its own with the sceptics too. I recommend it′ - Counselling at Work This innovative and timely book examines the issues and ideas surrounding integration and eclecticism in a therapeutic context, and provides a detailed account of a wide range of approaches in use. Following an exploration of the origins of integrative and eclectic processes, 10 approaches are explained in detail. Chapters on each approach: describe its central concepts, assumptions and therapeutic goals; outline its view of how psychological disturbance is acquired, perpetuated and resolved; examine how the theory relates to practice - including examples of typical sessions and case studies; and consider which clients might benefit. Further chapters explore the implications of using integrative and eclectic approaches for training, supervision, for working in a time-limited context and from a multicultural perspective.
