Peeks, Barbara

School Counselor, v36 n5 p384-88 May 1989

Discusses school counselor's role in helping troubled students from farm families who are losing their farms. Suggests that school counselors should use strategic family therapy to provide help for the student's entire social situation, including parents' farm failure, to offer hope for future, and should view student's symptom as an act of protectiveness in face of crisis.
