In recognition of the increasingly diverse student body in U.S. schools today, Coleman (U. of Wisconsin-Madison) and Yeh (U. of San Francisco) introduce the 47 chapters of this comprehensive reference with comments on a multicultural, ecological perspective on school counseling and their goals: highlighting the importance of the work of school counselors and counselor educators, and bridging research and practice. Contributors discuss relevant current and past theories, and the connection between research and practice in relation to the topics of: training, standards, models, and worldview in the field; diversity; student development; counselor competence; school-based interventions; working with socio- emotional challenges; and collaboration, accountability, and other professional issues.
