He covers an array of school-based interventions either proven or promising to be effective in critical areas addressed by school social workers. Given the need for accountability in regard to efficacy and \"state of the art\" practice knowledge this textbook is an invaluable resource for professionals whose time for research is limited. Though rich in research the book is extremely reader friendly, providing descriptive vignettes, listings of program contact information, and addresses for related web sites.\u003cbr\u003e —Michelle Alvarez, MSW, LCSW Assistant Professor of Social Work School Social Work Specializ ation, University of Southern Indiana malvarez@usi.edu\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI am a school social worker in CT at the high school level.

I have been implemented the \"school survival\" curriculum during the first marking period of this year. The book has served as an ongoing reference for many other facets of school work practice.
