This handbook examines policy research on school counseling across a
wide range of countries and offers guidelines for developing
counseling research and practice standards worldwide. It identifies
the vital role of counseling in enhancing students’ educational
performance and general wellbeing, and explores effective methods for
conducting policy research, with practical examples. Chapters present
the current state of school-based counseling and policy from various
countries, focusing on national and regional needs, as well as
opportunities for collaboration between advocates and policymakers. By
addressing gaps in policy knowledge and counselor training, the
Handbook discusses both the diversity of prominent issues and the
universality of its major objectives. Topics featured in this handbook
include: The use of scoping reviews to document and synthesize
current practices in school-based counseling. Contemporary public
policy on school-based counseling in Latin America. Policy, capacity
building, and school-based counseling in Eastern/Southern Africa.
Public policy, policy research, and school counseling in Middle
Eastern countries. Policy and policy research on school-based
counseling in the United Kingdom. Policy research on school-based
counseling in the United States. The International Handbook for Policy
Research in School-Based Counseling is a must-have resource for
researchers, graduate students, clinicians, and related professionals
and practitioners in child and school psychology, educational policy
and politics, social work, psychotherapy, and counseling as well as
related disciplines.
