The second edition of Counseling, Psychology, and Children takes a multidimensional four-part approach to counseling children. This approach: 1) capitalizes on the relationships children build with parents, teachers, and other adults; 2) looks at children's developmental processes; 3) examines multicultural influences upon them; and 4) takes into consideration the variety of intervention models available. Four chapters examine four major approaches to child therapy: psychodynamic, child-centered, behavioral/cognitive-behavioral, and family systems. In the final synthesizing chapter, the author draws upon his experience as therapist and teacher to bring everything together through a case study that shows his multidimensional approach in action.

  • Multidimensional model of counseling–Extends thinking beyond the boundaries of individual therapy to a collaborative effort that fits children's family ties, developmental level, and cultural influences.

    • Challenges future counselors to “think outside the box” of standard therapy–encourages them to view treatment as the culmination of education/developmental, preventive, and remedial interventions.

  • Discussion of the use of play therapy–Includes material on how to determine the best play practice for each developmental stage.

    • Helps students understand the use of play as a therapeutic technique–illustrates the way play draws out children's own ideas and concerns.

  • A chapter on assessment–Includes discussion of specific measures for use with children.

    • Highlights the tests and measurement devices in common use–discusses the advantages and drawbacks of each for specific situations.

  • Case examples–Included in Chapters 1 through 5 and in the intervention chapters.

    • Illustrates the text's recommendations as they would manifest in actual client sessions.

  • Contemporary Issues boxes–Throughout the text.

    • Focuses students' attention on topics of particular relevance to chapter content–for example, children's memories and court testimony.
