Whatever the reason, it is clear that crises are no longer unique events that will rarely or never be encountered. We drill for, prevent, and are continually educated in managing fires. What do we know about other personal and disaster-related crises in the schools? What theoretical philosophies might apply? What research and what information that others have learned "the hard way" from experiencing crises might help schools prepare for crisis? How can we support young people in crisis who have previously been ignored? These are the questions that this volume intends to address. -- From Chapter 1Over the past 50 years, the environment in our schools has changed dramatically. Once, talking, chewing gum, or running in the halls were considered serious disciplinary problems. Today, incidents of alcohol and drug use, teen pregnancy, vandalism, robbery and assault, and even suicide or murder occur in many schools. Considering the times, school professionals should assume that crises will occur. Administrators, counselors, and teachers need to equip themselves to meet the challenge. A uniquely practical handbook for individuals working in the schools, this volume provides straightforward guidelines for crisis intervention and prevention techniques that are designed specifically for the school setting.Drawing on their 20 years experience in managing crisis events in schools, the authors cover individual child-centered crises such as abuse, divorce, family violence or suicide as well as larger school or community-based crises such as serious bus accidents, in-school violence, and natural disasters that affect large groups of staff, students, and their families. Illuminating how crisis intervention is actually carried out, the book features case studies and personal reactions from all levels of school personnel. The book includes sample handouts for parents, students, and teachers, lists of community networking resources, and sample ``to-do'' lists for every potential member of a crisis team.An unusually useful and accessible resource for a wide variety of professionals, CRISIS INTERVENTION IN THE SCHOOLS is must reading for administrators and teachers as well as psychologists and counselors working in today's schools.

Essentials of Play Therapy With Abused Children

From high-level business negotiations to casual conversations among friends, every interpersonal interaction is shaped by cultural norms and expectations. Seldom is this more clearly brought to light than in encounters between people from different cultural backgrounds, when dissimilar communication practices may lead to frustration and misunderstanding. This thought-provoking text presents a new framework for understanding the impact of culture on communication and for helping students build intercultural communication competence. With illustrative examples from around the globe, the book shows that verbal and nonverbal communication involves much more than transmitting a particular message--it also reflects each participant's self-image, group identifications and values, and privacy and relational needs. Readers learn to move effectively and appropriately through a wide range of transcultural situations by combining culture-specific knowledge with mindful listening and communication skills. Throughout, helpful tables and charts and easy-to-follow guidelines for putting concepts into practice enhance the book's utility for students.

This video provides an accessible introduction to Russell A. Barkley’s influential theory of the nature and origins of ADHD. The program brings to life the conceptual framework delineated in Dr. Barkley’s book ADHD and the Nature of Self-Control. Offering a compelling explanation of how ADHD develops in the individual, the program illuminates the roots of such symptoms as a reduced ability to inhibit one's behavior, problems with managing time effectively, and lack of foresight. Also demonstrated are concrete ways that our growing understanding of the disorder might facilitate more effective clinical interventions. The companion manual reviews and amplifies key ideas and contains helpful suggestions for further reading. The package also includes a leader’s guide, providing tips on the optimal use of the video with a variety of audiences.
