Rezensionen

"Most people make up their minds based on very limited information. Support for this assertion can be found in myriad surveys, polls, and descriptions of public opinion. School psychology is a domain where strongly held yet non scientifically supported opinions are rampant. The unfortunate result is the risk of harmful child practices. This book identifies several examples of practices and/or perspectives that masquerade as factual and sets the record straight with relevant scientific findings. Thus it is an ideal companion for texts used by professors teaching classes to students majoring in child psychology in general and school psychology in particular."

Patrick Friman, PhD, ABPP Vice President of Behavioral Health, Boys Town; Professor of Pediatrics, University of Nebraska Medical Center, USA.

"Investigating School Psychology: Pseudoscience, Fringe Science, and Controversies offers a comprehensive yet easily digestible summary of the research refuting the most common and harmful myths in school psychology and education. Axelrod and Hupp have brought together leading scholars in the field to create an informative resource for anyone invested in our schools and the well-being of children. The book should be required reading for all policy makers in education."

Renee O. Hawkins, PhD, Director of the School of Human Services and Professor in the Ed.S. and Ph.D. School Psychology Programs at the University of Cincinnati, USA.
