Rezensionen / Stimmen

"School Psychology and Social Justice is the most comprehensive compendium of papers about social justice and school psychology published to date. It elucidates the rich meaning of the construct of social justice and artfully links concepts of social justice with important developments in school psychology, including public health, global health, multiculturalism, and positive psychology. This text is an essential resource for researchers, educators, students, and practitioners."
