Childhood Behavior Disorders

It has been 19 years since the first edition of this book was published. The new edition takes into account changes of the past two decades, and has been reorganized into four main sections to reflect current concerns of school-based staff working with students with behavior disorders. These four sections cover foundational information related to behavior disorders; existing theoretical perspectives of understanding behavior disorders; intervention; and programmatic considerations which influence the education of students with challenging behaviors. Two appendices provide a list of historical milestones associated with the field of behavior disorders (from 500-400 B.C. to 1999), and a list of additional resources (services, organizations, publications and journals). The authors' credentials are not given. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
