Luxmoore, a school counselor, trainer, teacher, youth worker, and psychotherapist in the UK, shows school counselors how to make their work a normal, visible part of school life using a whole-school approach. He addresses the school context and the role of the counselor, the counseling process, school rules, and skills, then describes key therapeutic aims: helping people learn to speak about rather than enact their anxieties, develop a capacity to tolerate ambivalence, become less reliant on a false self to protect the true self, develop a sense of personal worth or self-esteem, and bear the anxieties of not knowing why bad things happen. The last section details how to develop a school counseling service and the roles of the principal, volunteer counselors, peer supporters, and parents.
