Crisis Intervention in the Schools
Gayle D. Pitcher and Scott Poland
Whatever the reason, it is clear that crises are no longer unique events that will rarely or never be encountered. We drill for, prevent, and are continually educated in managing fires. What do we know about other personal and disaster-related crises in the schools? What theoretical philosophies might apply? What research and what information that others have learned "the hard way" from experiencing crises might help schools prepare for crisis? How can we support young people in crisis who have previously been ignored? These are the questions that this volume intends to address. -- From Chapter 1
Over the past 50 years, the environment in our schools has changed dramatically. Once, talking, chewing gum, or running in the halls were considered serious disciplinary problems. Today, incidents of alcohol and drug use, teen pregnancy, vandalism, robbery and assault, and even suicide or murder occur in many schools. Considering the times, school professionals should assume that crises will occur. Administrators, counselors, and teachers need to equip themselves to meet the challenge. A uniquely practical handbook for individuals working in the schools, this volume provides straightforward guidelines for crisis intervention and prevention techniques that are designed specifically for the school setting.
Drawing on their 20 years experience in managing crisis events in schools, the authors cover individual child-centered crises such as abuse, divorce, family violence or suicide as well as larger school or community-based crises such as serious bus accidents, in-school violence, and natural disasters that affect large groups of staff, students, and their families. Illuminating how crisis intervention is actually carried out, the book features case studies and personal reactions from all levels of school personnel. The book includes sample handouts for parents, students, and teachers, lists of community networking resources, and sample to-do' lists for every potential member of a crisis team.
An unusually useful and accessible resource for a wide variety of professionals, CRISIS INTERVENTION IN THE SCHOOLS is must reading for administrators and teachers as well as psychologists and counselors working in today's schools.

Handbook of social development: A lifespan perspective
Vincent B. Van Hasselt and Michel Hersen
Social development over one's lifetime is a complex area that has received consider able attention in the psychological, social-psychological, and sociological literature over the years. Surprisingl~ however, since 1969, when Rand McNally published Goslin's Handbook of Socialization, no comprehensive statement of the field has appeared in book form. Given the impressive data in this area that have been adduced over the last two decades, we trust that our handbook will serve to fill that gap. In this volume we have followed a lifespan perspective, starting with the social interactions that transpire in the earliest development stages and progressing through childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and, finall~ one's senior years. In so doing we cover a variety of issues in depth. The book contains 21 chapters and is divided into five parts: I, Theoretical Perspectives; II, Infants and Toddlers; ill, Children and Adolescents; Iv, Adults; and V, The Elderly. Each of the parts begins with introductory material that reviews the overall issues to be considered. Many individuals have contributed to the final production of this handbook. Foremost are our eminent contributors, who graciously agreed to share with us their expertise. We also thank our administrative and technical staff for their assistance in carrying out the day-to-day tasks necessary to complete such a project. Finall~ we thank Eliot Werner, Executive Editor at Plenum, for his willingness to publish and for his tolerance for the delays inevitable in the development of a large handbook.
