Psychological Consultation and Collaboration: Introduction to Theory and Practice

by Walter B. Pryzwansky

Psychological Consultation and Collaboration: Introduction to Theory and Practice Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Psychological Consultation and Collaboration highlights the major theoretical approaches to consultation and collaboration and offers concrete ideas about the processes as well as techniques and strategies for use in collaboration and consultation. This comprehensive book devotes two chapters to specific consultees: parents and teachers. Additional chapters deal with consultation in organizations, the consultee, the consultant, and the use of data and information to inform the consultation process. This sixth edition includes significant new information regarding collaboration and a completely rewritten chapter on behavioral consultation. The assessment model incorporated into the behavioral consultation and collaboration chapter follows the federal guidelines for assessment and intervention for exceptional children and includes material that can be used with all students.

New to This Edition

  • Cross-cultural concepts have been incorporated throughout the book. Stronger emphasis on cross-cultural consultation and skills needed in this area prepares students to consult with a variety of consultees.
  • New information on the influence of cultural values on the consultation and collaboration process, differences in verbal and non-verbal communication in the major cultural groups in the United States, and tips for using this information in cross-cultural work are included. Each of the theories discussed is critiqued for its utility in cross-cultural consultation.
  • A completely rewritten Chapter 4 based on an eclectic behavioral model is included in this edition.
  • Consultation and collaboration are contrasted in Chapter 1.
  • Chapter 2 on mental-health consultation has been extensively rewritten.
