Thinking and Acting Like a Solution-Focused School Counselor

School Counselling
Thinking and Acting Like a Solution-Focused Counselor provides counsellors with a practical guide to learning to think and then ACT like an expert counsellor.
The author focuses upon the development of the skills employed by solution-focused counsellors as they process client data, develop case conceptualizations and then formulate and implement specific treatment plans.
The book provides extensive case illustrations and guided practice exercises to move the reader from simply 'knowing' to 'doing' and is ideal for training new and less experienced counsellors in what to say, how to say it, and why to say it.
"This book does make a distinct contribution to the field. This approach is one that school counselors can use. Many may be using a form of this and not even know it."
"The author knows solution-focused counseling inside and out. He describes in excellent detail how to use this technique with multiple problems and multiple ages. The examples are spot on."
"This should be a required text for a school counseling degree."
