Features: This book has the following characteristics: It reflects a strong sense of contemporaneity, (base) on China's social transformation and modernization process to understand the mission of modern schools. The book provides a clear line of thought and possesses a certain degree of originality. First, it positions school heart-counseling () as development-oriented, balancing prevention and remediation. Initially, it takes students' growth as the fundamental starting point, addressing their psychological confusion during development and promoting their healthy growth. Second, it advocates for both popularization and specialization, using popularization to enhance specialization. From a popularization perspective, it proposes the full participation of teachers, focusing on students' inner world in daily teaching and learning, conducting family psychological counseling, and creating a positive environment for students' healthy growth. From a specialization perspective, it requires schools to learn and master professional skills such as individual counseling, group counseling, and psychological assessment, serving as counselors for students, advisors for teachers and parents, and assistants to the principal, and so on. The book is divided into four parts: Part I is the Introduction (Chapters 1 to 3), including the preface, the development history of school psychological counseling, and the basic theoretical schools of psychological counseling; Part II is the Special Topics, which is the content of school psychological counseling (Chapters 4 to 7); Part III is the Practice, which is the implementation approaches of school psychological counseling (Chapters 8 to 10); Part IV is the Support and Guarantee, which is the support and guarantee of school psychological counseling (Chapters 11 to 14), particularly listing psychological counseling professional supervision as a chapter, which is relatively rare among similar works in China.
