Rezensionen
"If you are working with immigrant or refugee children, youth, and families, this is the research-based book that you need to read - a real hands-on practitioner's resource! It is a comprehensive book filled with descriptions of effective approaches, tools, strategies, procedures, and activities that can be used by counselors, therapists, social service providers, teachers, and administrators to build and improve the services and supports that they provide. The book includes real-life examples and case studies, often with step-by-step instructions, which make it easy for practitioners to really see how all the different strategies can be constructed and implemented. Additionally, each chapter includes insightful sections on potential challenges along with suggested solutions, multi-cultural considerations, and comprehensive lists of where to find additional resources. This book is truly a one stop resource for those interested in not only building their knowledge and skills for providing effective interventions, but also for designing programs that focus on preventing the problems that the growing number of refugees and immigrants are facing in our schools and communities." - Dale Fryxell, PhD, dean, School of Education and Behavioral Sciences, professor of Psychology, Chaminade University of Honolulu

"Globally, refugees and immigrants form part of the daily lives of everyday citizens. Such a world-wide phenomenon is often viewed as a disruptive challenge - a challenge predicting devastating, negative outcomes for the health and well-being of families and children displaced from their familiar settings. School-Based Family Counseling with Refugees and Immigrants provides an alternative discourse of counseling pathways to support, heal and enable. The text posits multiple relevant school-based family counseling models given refugee and immigrant-related challenges that are substantiated in rigorous investigation. Engaging chapters chronicle how school-based family counseling can be mobilised as resilience-enabling pathways to both buffer against the risk factors associated with being a refugee or immigrant, as well as promote extraordinary positive subjective health and well-being outcomes." - Liesel Ebersöhn, PhD, director, Centre for the Study of Resilience; professor, Department of Educational Psychology, University of Pretoria. secretary general, World Education Research Association.

"As a former dean, department chair and professor of Educational Leadership, I highly recommend Based Family Counseling with Refugees and Immigrants. After 45 years in higher education working with public and private schools, I assumed I had the knowledge and craft to address diversity, equity and inclusion. No time is it more important than the present to address the critical issues of refugees and immigrants in our society and schools. Reading this book gave me new insights and platforms necessary for practice. The SBFC Meta-Model provides a conceptual framework and systems approach grounded, not on the refugees and immigrant families and children as problems, but opportunities for collaboration, integration and school success. The comprehensive 19 chapters contributed by ten of the top scholars from around the world, are rich with case studies, practical approaches for training, and references suitable for educational leaders and mental health practitioners alike. Our past - and our future -- depend on inclusiveness of immigrant and refugee families and the integration of school, family, and community. The book, like no other, guides everyone on this critical journey." - Walter H. Gmelch, PhD, dean emeritus, professor of Leadership Studies, School of Education, University of San Francisco

"Based Family Counseling with Refugees and Immigrants comprises chapters from some of the most esteemed school-based family counseling scholars, researchers, and practitioners across the globe. It fills a major void in the counseling literature, and the chapters, in the edited volume, cover a variety of topics related to refugees and immigrants. To me, this edited volume is a long needed contribution and resource in school-based family counseling." - James L. Moore III, PhD, vice provost for Diversity and Inclusion and chief diversity officer, executive director for Todd Anthony Bell National Resource Center on the African American Male, and EHE distinguished professor of Urban Education, The Ohio State University
