Book And Material Reviews

The Educational Consultant is a superb book for school-based consultants and a wonderful text for graduate courses in consultation, collaboration, teaming, or related areas. Two words quickly come to mind in describing the book, “comprehensive” and “practical.” The authors, Heron and Harris, have successfully provided a thorough overview of both the theoretical conceptualizations and the practical applications related to the practice of consultation. The book was designed “... to provide educational consultants with the information necessary to consult with educators and parents effectively regarding the design and implementation of educational programs within the least restrictive environment” (p. xiii). The authors succeed admirably in accomplishing this overall goal. Several modifications were made in this fourth edition; they include improving the organization of the book, incorporating references to recent JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CONSULTATION, 12(3), 271–275 Copyright © 2001, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc.
