Similarities and Differences of Professionals Interviewed in Their Approach and Treatment Settings
One psychologist interviewed stated that she uses puppets to assist children in working out their problem and in stimulating the child's mind about the different paths that they may take. The psychologist explained that she uses a turtle puppet to practice behaviors that are brave such as coping and explains that the child tends to use their imagination much more so than do adults do. She offers the advice that it is important for the clinical psychologist to understand what is and what is not within their realm of possibilities to avoid becoming frustrated about their endeavors. In another interview, the psychologist reported that using stories about other imaginary children with the same problems has been a great way to assist children in understanding how they can work through their own problems.

Also noted as necessary is the taking of a "measurement of the range of outcomes following psychotherapies and preventive interventions" which can assist in establishing the cost and benefits associated with each of these. It is stated that the "effects of psychological practice (and research) on society in general stand in great need of more rigorous investigation." (Roberts and Hardi, nd, p.6) Stated as well is a challenge relating to the "evaluation of the organization and delivery of a variety of clinical services through program evaluation.

Future investments would be better possible and a timely payment of debts would also help the employer.

Especially in a large school -- as so many are these days -- the counselor may serve as an important, indeed vital, safety net for students who do not see a clear path through this challenging period of life. School counselors help students
