Addressing the widespread and painful
problem of chronic peer rejection, this volume combines up-to-date research and practical
strategies for school- and clinic-based intervention. An innovative developmental
framework is presented for understanding why certain children face rejection, the peer
group dynamics involved, and implications for social-emotional development and mental
health. Strategies for assessing rejected children are discussed in detail, with attention
to individual social competence variables as well as transactional influences. Clear
guidelines are delineated for planning and implementing effective social competence
coaching programs, as well as multicomponent interventions and school-based strategies.
Providing invaluable recommendations for practice that are solidly grounded in the
empirical literature, the book is illustrated throughout with revealing case studies and
interviews.
