NASP CQ 38-4

Welcome again to Communiqué Online. Each month you will find something different to enhance your practice or improve your awareness of how your profession is practiced around the country.

For December, Communiqué Online offers a reprint of an article from The Ohio School Psychologist that was nominated by its editor, Rob Kubick, as worthy of national attention. The article by Heather Doyle and Jennifer DeFago is entitled “A Review of the Literature of Relational Aggression and Child Outcomes.” Communiqué Online will feature more such articles in the future as state newsletter editors nominate them.

Also take a look at the latest entries in the “Stateside” and “My Three Links” features for news about state association activities and websites of interest. It’s very important that you contribute your news items to “People” and “My Three Links” because those features in particular are meant to be member-to-member resources—written by members for members. You can do that right now—online—by going to those features.
