In order for education to prepare children and adolescents to become capable adults and productive citizens, we need dedicated educators, effective teaching strategies, motivated students, supportive families, and schools with adequate resources, all of which are influenced by the well-being of students, teachers, and families in the behavioral and social-emotional domains.

The book Applied School Psychology contributes in this direction by highlighting the multifaceted role of school psychology in education. It addresses issues such as academic interventions at the individual level, teacher level, and system level, interventions from educational and social psychology/personality psychology, behavioral and socio-emotional interventions, health and pediatric perspectives, family ties, and lifelong transitions, as well as special populations.
