This guide for teachers begins by acknowledging that, in addition to their teaching duties and responsibilities as classroom managers, teachers are called upon to do a variety of things for which they may feel unprepared, including: (1) respond to children's emotional needs; (2) resolve interpersonal conflicts; (3) conduct parent conferences; (4) identify cases of abuse, neglect, drug abuse, and emotional problems; (5) assess children's developmental transitions; (6) participate in Individualized Education Programs; and (7) function as a problem solver for children in crisis. This book introduces beginning teachers to the basic methodology of counseling and consulting so that they will feel better prepared to handle these tasks. Chapter 1 looks at the roles of the classroom teacher. Chapter 2 focuses on the assessment of children's problems, including anxiety, phobias, depression, suicidal intentions, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and substance abuse. Chapter 3 explains the helping process, lists counseling principles, and provides an integrative approach to counseling. Chapter 4 offers suggestions for developing helping skills. Chapter 5 presents helping strategies to use in groups. Chapter 6 makes suggestions for parent conferences. Chapter 7 focuses on successful consulting with other professionals. At the end of each chapter are lists of suggested readings and activities. (NB)

Like no other book available, Working with Students with Disabilities: A Guide for School Counselors provides comprehensive coverage of school counselors’ roles in special education and working with students with disabilities and connects that coverage to both the ASCA national model and CACREP standards. In Working with Students with Disabilities, school counselors will find thoughtful analyses of the legal and regulatory basis for many of the practices in special education, including an overview of pertinent laws including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. They’ll gain an in-depth understanding of the leadership role that school counselors should play in supporting students, teachers, and families, and they’ll also come away with an understanding of the common challenges—like bullying, cyberbullying, and successful transitioning from high school to adult life— to which students with disabilities may be more vulnerable, as well as less common challenges such as behavioral difficulties, autism spectrum disorders, and many more.

Gain a knowledge of counseling methods that are practical and consistent with Christian theological convictions. What do the Scriptures say about counseling? What is the biblical basis for using Scriptures in counseling? What does it mean to think biblically about counseling-related issues? At the root of this book is the confidence that Christ and his Word are not only sufficient for effectively handling the personal and interpersonal challenges of life but are superior to the resources found in the world. The practice of psychological counseling is a ministry and should not belong only to the realm of humanistic and secular theories of the mind. Written to pastors, elders, deacons, seminary students, and laypeople; well-known pastor John MacArthur and contributors present a system of biblical truth that brings together people, their problems, and the living God. This kind of counseling is based on the convictions that: God's Word should be our counseling authority. Counseling is a part of the basic discipling ministry of the local church. God's people can and should be trained to counsel effectively. Counseling: How to Counsel Biblically provides biblical guidelines to counsel people who are struggling. The contributors represent some of America's leading biblical teachers and counselors, including: Ken L. Sarles, David Powlison, Douglas Bookman, David B. Maddox, Robert Smith, William W. Goode, and Dennis M. Swanson.
