Series Statement:
Applying psychology in the schools book series
Content:
"This book discusses how to improve students' mental and physical well-being by implementing various mind-body interventions in schools. Following a three-tiered service delivery model, it provides guidelines for applying these practices universally, with small groups, and with individuals. Chapters review the benefits, limitations, and potential risks associated specific mind-body practices, including yoga, mindfulness, biofeedback, and expressive therapy. They also address how to target specific problems, such as eating and sleep disorders, chronic pain, and trauma"--
Content:
"This book provides an overview of the current state of various mind–body interventions, as well as other practical considerations for the use of these techniques in the school setting, to address the growing influence of stressors on school-aged children. The primary target audience for the book is school psychologists; however, other mental health professionals who work in or outside the school setting, such as counselors and social workers, are also likely to benefit from the content. The book is divided into three sections. The first section focuses on broad considerations for delivering mind–body health interventions in schools. The reader can find such topics as home–school collaboration, treatment integrity, school-based health services, the impact of chronic illness from a neurodevelopmental perspective, self-care for school psychologists and related professionals, an overview of traditional Eastern mind–body approaches with consideration for use in the Western school setting, and a critical, yet important, discussion of best practice recommendations for the use of mind–body interventions in the school setting. The second section covers multiple mind–body health interventions for various school-related issues including academic, behavioral, and socioemotional concerns. The third section of the book discusses the application of mind–body interventions with specific populations of students. The readers will find chapters that focus on specific populations of students for whom the use of various mind–body approaches might be beneficial. The book holds a substantial amount of knowledge that can be easily shared with young people to help them help themselves as they encounter challenges throughout their development."--Preface.
