Consultation in Psychology: A Competency-Based Approach - Carol A. Falender

Consultation is a distinct professional practice with goals and functions different from direct clinical service or clinical supervision. This book presents a comprehensive, practical foundation to develop or enhance consultation practice. The opening chapters introduce a competency-based, multicultural, and ethical approach to consultation that is relevant to all settings, while subsequent chapters build on this foundation and describe the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for consultation in a variety of specific settings. These include medical, pediatric, forensic, school, corporate, leadership, family, religious, police, and military contexts.
