This classic text is intended as an introduction to basic skills for educational psychologists and others who are involved in working individually with children and young people. The theoretical perspectives discussed arise from personal construct psychology (PCP), neurolinguistic programming (NLP), and family therapy. Coverage encompasses skills such as establishing rapport, interviewing, and interpreting children's responses, including drawings. Theory is translated into practice with case examples. This second edition contains new chapters on plan-do-review, solution-focused work, and approaches to measuring the impact of therapy. Beaver is an educational psychologist with the Somerset Children and Young People's Directorate. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
