Understanding and Teaching Emotionally Disturbed Children and Adolescents - Fourth Edition shows how diverse theoretical perspectives, such as cognitive, behavioral, ecological, and humanistic psychology translate into practice by discussing how the forms of therapy and types of interventions associated with these perspectives may be used with children and adolescents. It focuses on the types of emotional and behavioral disorders experienced by students, discussing disability categories included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV (American Psychiatric Association, 1994) and categories of deviant behavior established through empirical methods. The book also discusses the roles of general and special education teachers in identifying and assisting problematic individuals. Understanding and Teaching Emotionally Disturbed Children and Adolescents - Fourth Edition also will be a valuable resource for other professionals such as counselors, social workers, and psychologists.
