Description
High Risk Children in Schools offers a way for psychologists and educators to see and talk about the growing population of "at-risk" children--those likely to fail at formal schooling--while helping to redefine the relationship between schools and families.
Using systems theory and developmental psychology, the authors present a new framework for the study and education of children who are at-risk. This framework--the Contextual Systems Model--creates a dialogue between the child and schooling through which meaning, goals, and experiences are shared and accepted.

Reviews / Votes
"...I applaud this volume's emphases and hope that these ideas will become more prevalent and more practiced...the more general context point of view is well highlighted and should be a part of every well informed mental health consultant's awareness." -- Irving H. Berkovitz, ClinicalProfessor in Psychiatry, UCLA"In this gem of a book, Pianta and Walsh offer a fresh and stimulating perspective on children's schooling, the nature of risk, and the importance of the relationship between the child/family system and schools/schooling. ...This volume would be an excellent supplementary text in coursesin child development, child psychopathology, exceptional children, educational foundations, and school consultation." -- School Psychology Quarterly
