The Theory and Practice of Academic Therapy: The Role of Teachers in Promoting Mental Health D Samuel Bunn

The book is geared towards the academic audience. The purpose of this book is to raise teacher's awareness of the role they can play in terms of promoting the mental health and emotional well-being of students in their classrooms. The relationship-building techniques put forth in this book in the form of academic therapy are easy to implement and generate amazing results. The techniques can be used with students of any age group. And best of all, the techniques are relationship-driven and can be seamlessly implemented during the process of teaching the required academic material for any class. It's all about the therapeutic value of the supportive relationship that can be established between teachers and students. No extra work is required, just patience, kindness, compassion, and a genuine concern for the human condition. Students are the future. Let's not just prepare them intellectually, let's prepare them emotionally, too.
