Читать книгу Ethics and Law for School Psychologists - Susan Jacob - Страница 14

Throughout the text, we have included a number of case incidents to illustrate specific principles. Some of the incidents are from case law, some were suggested by practitioners in the field, and others are fictitious. To make it easier for the reader to follow who’s who in the vignettes, we have used the same six school psychologists throughout the book:

MARIA DELGADO serves as a member of a school psychological services team in a medium-size city. She is particularly interested in school-based consultative services.

CARRIE JOHNSON provides school psychological services in a rural area. She faces the special challenges of coping with professional isolation and works in a community where resources are limited.

DAVID KIM is, at the beginning of the book, a doctoral intern in a suburban school district.

JAMES LEWIS, a school psychologist in a large metropolitan district, is a strong advocate of school efforts to prevent mental health problems.

PEARL MEADOWS is a school psychologist in a small university town. She works with a diverse student population, including students from farm families who live on the district’s outskirts, Native American students from the neighboring Indian reservation, and children from many different cultures whose parents are part of the university community. Pearl also provides on-site supervision to school psychology interns.

WANDA ROSE provides services at the preschool and elementary levels in a small town. Children, babies, parents, and teachers love her. She has been a school psychology practitioner for many years. Wanda needs an occasional push from her colleagues to keep current with changing practices, however.
