The Fourth Edition of The Handbook of School Psychology continues the tradition of providing a unique and comprehensive outlet for disseminating the collective wisdom and insight of outstanding scholars working in the field of school psychology. This edition brings together the field's latest developments in research and practice, highlighting domains in which there has emerged both growing consensus and vibrant cross currents of thought and analysis. Featuring chapters with new foci, authors, and content, this edition showcases the trajectory of the field and is intended to lead students forward into an increasingly challenging and rewarding future.
There are a number of editions of this encyclopedic survey of school psychology. However, this is the edition that I used when beginning to do research on the relationship of what happens in schools to students' performance and the effect of roles adopted by school psychologists on their community involvement (e.g., with respect to AIDS). I am a political scientist--not a school psychologist. But this volume included a number of very relevant studies that enriched my research. So, even though this version is rather dated by now, consider me a "satisfied customer"!
