Sklare A joint publication with the American School Counselor Association Reduce discipline problems, improve relationships, and help students achieve their goals! With caseloads often exceeding 500 students, counselors cannot afford to spend countless hours on traditional approaches to individual problems. Solution-Focused Brief Counseling (SFBC) offers counselors an effective approach that leads to rapid, observable change in students. Brief Counseling That Works, Second Edition, combines step-by-step instructions with vivid case examples to provide a comprehensive and practical overview of the fundamental principles of SFBC. Author Gerald B. Sklare has extensively revised this second edition to include new adaptations of solution-focused methods, more opportunities to practice the SFBC model, and an expanded discussion of ways school administrators can use SFBC.

Even in elementary school, students suffer from bullying and harassment at the hands of other students. Often, educators resort to using stricter forms of behavior modification to stop bullying. But usually this fails to solve the problem while threatening the student-teacher relationship. Chosen by the National Bullying Prevention Campaign for inclusion in their Bullying Prevention Resources Kit, Breaking the Culture of Bullying and Disrespect, Grades K-8 combines therapeutic knowledge with day-to-day educational experience to provide a comprehensive approach to a vast array of behavior-related problems. Authors Beaudoin and Taylor have interviewed and worked with hundreds of students and tested their strategies in more than 25 schools. The book includes numerous easy-to-implement activities along with programs and curricula appropriate for working with individual students, classes, and whole schools. Written in a clear and practical way, this accessible resource includes: • a whole program of practices and easily adaptable classroom activities • excerpts from interviews and conversations • reflective and frequently asked questions • examples of student work • tutorials, exercises, and a glossary By linking narrative and social constructionist ideas to educational realities, this indispensable guidebook provides functional strategies that promote respect, responsibility, and tolerance in students. The authors take into account the interaction of many larger contributing factors and examine how they are experienced in the unique context of students’ lives. Essential reading for teachers and principals in elementary and middle schools, this innovative text also offers authoritative guidance to counselors and school psychologists working with students in grades K-8. 256 pages, 2004, 7” x 10”, 2nd printing MR #037920 Breaking the Culture of... $ 40.95 The Accountable School Counselor Larry C.

Kaplan This exciting publication provides a framework for involving the family in counseling. It focuses on establishing good relationships with families, assessing family issues, setting goals for family progress, selecting interventions for families, assessing the effectiveness of family interventions, and reaching closure with families.

School counselors in Grades K–12 can use this book to develop ways of involving families in their interventions on behalf of children and adolescents. The book outlines the principles of family therapy and emphasizes the increased efficiency and efficacy that incorporating family members’ involvement can offer for client outcomes. The book culminates in a case example of a course of solution-focused family therapy with a composite family. Also included is the Ethical Code for the International Association of Marriage and Family Counselors. 347 pages, 2003, softcover MR #042447 Family Counseling for Alll... $ 39.95 Studying, Test Taking, and Getting Good Grades Susanna Palomares • Dianne Schilling One of the most important things students can learn in school is how to learn. Studying, Test Taking, and Getting Good Grades falls solidly within the “how to learn” category. Taken from a broad variety of disciplines, it goes beyond basic study skills to address motivation, personal responsibility, diet, exercise, the brain, and numerous other topics. This entirely reproducible student activity book is designed to (1) build a base of understanding and skill development in the broad spectrum of learning, studying, and test-taking; (2) provide opportunities for students to apply this knowledge to their own lives; and (3) provide opportunities to practice and discuss new information and skills so students are better prepared to apply these techniques and skills in all subject areas. This material’s flexibility is a great asset—it is useful for counselors and teachers to use in individual, group, or classroom formats and for parents and students to use on their own.

George Selig, Ed.D. • Alan A. Arroyo, Ed.D. Here is a complete repertoire of discipline strategies for the classroom teacher or school psychologist. Organized for quick reference, this handbook lets you look up a specific classroom problem and choose—from an array of options—a discipline strategy that’s not only appropriate for the problem but also compatible with the particular student’s behavior style and level of motivation. First the handbook shows you how to assess the student’s motivation level and behavior style. Then it lists 46 problem behaviors—absenteeism, anger, attention difficulties, cheating, defiance, drug use, fighting, hyperactivity, lying, profanity, shyness, stealing, and talking back, to name only a few. All you have to do is look up the problem, note the student’s motivation level and behavior style—and the appropriate intervention strategies will be described in detail. Concrete and practical, this handbook gives you a number of alternatives for each behavior problem encountered. Complete Kit Includes: Handbook and 100 Problem-Solving Worksheets.

COUNSELLING AND THERAPY Too Much, Too Little, Just Right A Social Communication Game Claudia Weiss, L.C.S.W., Sandra Singer, Ph.D., and Lois Feigenbaum, L.C.S.W. Ages 5 to 12 People communicate using not only words, but also tone of voice and body language. Many children, however, fail to notice these relatively subtle social cues. This game teaches children to pay attention to tone of voice, observe body language, and note how these cues affect the message. Children assume two roles during game play: Messenger and Listener. They learn by observing others and by getting immediate feedback about their own expressive abilities. They learn to adjust volume, expression, gestures, and other physical cues in order to communicate effectively and achieve greater selfcontrol. Acquiring these skills helps children develop more appropriate and satisfying social relationships. Ideal for 2 to 8 players, this game can be easily used with larger groups or classrooms as well. Because it focuses on social interaction among players rather than on a game board, it can be played virtually anywhere. Clearly focused and easy to use, Too Much, Too Little, Just Right is an exceptional tool for those working with children who have autism spectrum disorders. Included with the game, and also available separately, is an Express-o-Meter, a sliding ruler that allows you to give students feedback about whether they are communicating appropriately.

Written from David’s point of view, this charming book uses playful illustrations and kid-friendly text to tell young readers what it’s like to have Asperger’s Syndrome. David explains that he’s a little clumsy, he has trouble making friends, and sometimes he can’t figure out how to carry on a normal conversation. But David wants to have friends, and with the help of his teacher and his parents, he gives the kids in his class some very helpful tips about what they can do to help a classmate with Asperger’s Syndrome. After learning about Asperger’s Syndrome, the other kids realize that David’s not weird, just a little different. And David doesn’t have to play alone anymore. MR #050271 To Be Me $ 21.95 Help students who are impulsive, inattentive, or hyperactive. The Self-Control Game Berthold Berg, Ph.D. Ages 8 and up This game teaches children how to exercise self-control in academic and social situations. It addresses 24 specific traits and behaviors classified as impulsive, inattentive, or hyperactive. As they move around the game board and respond to questions on game cards, they learn how to change maladaptive behavior. A Children’s Behavior Control Inventory (included) helps you select game cards that focus on a given child’s particular needs. This game is an ideal way to apply cognitive-behavioral techniques to impulsive or hyperactive behavior. If you treat children who daydream, fidget, or act without thinking, try The Self-Control Game. MR #050278 The Self-Control Game $ 56.95 The Self-Control Workbook Berthold Berg, Ph.D. A companion to The Self- Control Game, this workbook gives children practice in using positive self-statements and problem-solving techniques to control their behavior. Exercises teach students how to think before they act, how to prepare themselves for interruptions, how to credit themselves for success and effort, and how to empathize with peers who find their hyperactive behavior irritating. The written “homework” assignments in this workbook can be used to extend the benefits of therapy. Ages 8 and up. MR #050279 The Self-Control Workbook $ 22.95 Self-Control Skits DVD Ages 10 to 16 If you’re working with teens or preteens who have problems with impulsivity, distractibility, or ADHD, this DVD is a great way to stimulate genuine behavior change. Skits performed by kids illustrate negative, and then positive, reactions to real-life situations. The dramatic contrast between “how not to” and “how to” never fails to provoke viewer involvement and discussion. The skits focus on distractions, following directions, persisting, following rules, speaking before thinking, acting without thinking, fidgeting, disrupting and interrupting. Each of the DVD’s 8 sections serves as the basis for hours of discussion, written assignments, and role play. This DVD is often used in conjunction with The Self-Control Game. DVD, 30 minutes. MR #050280 Self-Control Skits DVD $ 56.95 The Classroom Survival Game Berthold Berg, Ph.D. Ages 8 and up This game teaches the 10 classroom skills vital for academic success: asking and answering questions, participating in classroom discussions, following directions, working independently, performing before others, paying attention, completing tasks, working in groups, staying on task, and producing quality work. Instead of focusing solely on the negative consequences of failing to master these tasks, game cards encourage players to adopt three forms of positive self-statements: performance mediation, causal attribution, and self-reinforcement. Two comprehensive inventories—one for students and one for teachers—help you pinpoint each child’s problem areas, and coded cards allow you to customize game play to concentrate on particular skills, self-statement types, or both. The game’s central theme of positive thinking about school, however, makes it a useful tool without “stacking the deck,” so it is ideal for classroom use (with up to 36 players). The Classroom Survival Workbook is packed with exercises, this workbook addresses 42 components of the 10 classroom skills described above. Students learn how to give themselves encouragement, credit for their efforts, and praise for specific accomplishments. “Application” questions foster transfer of learning by obliging students to consider their own experiences. This workbook is particularly helpful, for both reinforcement and as a progress check, when the game is used with large groups.

Jean Ayres, Ph.D. Infancy through Adolescence This classic handbook, from the originator of sensory integration theory, is now available in an updated, parent-friendly edition. Retaining all the features that made the original edition so popular with both parents and professionals, Sensory Integration and the Child remains the best book on the subject. With a new foreword by Dr. Florence Clark and commentaries by recognized experts in sensory integration, this volume explains sensory integrative dysfunction, how to recognize it, and what to do about it. Helpful tips, checklists, question-and-answer sections, and parent resources make the new edition more informative and useful. Indispensable reading for parents, this book is also an excellent way to improve communication between therapist, parents, and teachers. The original edition was the first book to explicate sensory integrative dysfunction—and this edition offers new insights and helpful updates in an easy-to-use format. MR #050255 Sensory Integration and the Child $ 20.95 A full deck of emotions to help children express themselves My Ups and Downs Linda S. Kraskey, M.A. Preschool through adolescence When children open up this deck of cards, they open up new possibilities for emotional expression. These large (3.5” by 5.75”), colorful cards feature 17 captivating kids who express 34 different emotions. Children can compare their own feelings with those depicted on the cards. This is a flexible tool that can be used in a number of ways—you can play memory games, make up stories, or play a new form of Old Maid (complete instructions included). Used at the Devereux Foundation, Mayo Clinic, Sloan- Kettering Memorial Hospital, Father Flanagan’s Boys’ Town, Kennedy Foundation, Covenant House, and many other well-known institutions, this multicultural card deck encourages children to communicate more freely.
