Implications of Wellness Models for Educational and School Psychology
Abstract
This paper discusses some problems with health treatment models, and the importance of conceptualizing concerns about health from a wellness model perspective. The implications of wellness models for psychologists working in the schools are then discussed. Finally, a function would be to assist the school by educating competent youngsters rather than conduct remediation, treatment, or individual evaluation programs. Some examples are described of functions such psychologists could perform in the schools, including the following: Implementing behavior modification procedures, training teachers in reading comprehension, conducting test anxiety reduction and study skills training programs, and others. Some general characteristics of such roles are also discussed. Keywords: Education, Training, Conditioning, Behavior, Comprehension.
