Product Description This book clearly explains five theoretical models and directly links the theories to practical applications for students with emotional and behavioral disorders. Rarely are theory and application connected in such a user-friendly way. Well-organized and convenient to use, this book makes use of advance organizers, key points, and text-breakers such as "Case Studies" and "Applied Examples" to enhance flow and readability. The theme of this book is an ecological/systems perspective of emotional and behavioral disorders, reflected in the examples used and the references cited. For teachers, school psychologists, and people interested in understanding emotional and behavioral disorders in children. | ||

EBD textbook review This was my textbook for a class on EBD. The chapters are kinda long and took me a long time to read, but the information is great. I wouldn't even say it's hard to read, it's just a lot to digest. There is a lot of info on the theoretical models (a chapter on each) and educational applications for each. There is also a chapter each on internalizing and externalizing disorder which covers depression, anxiety, ADHD, and conduct disorder. The chapter on adolescence talks about sex, drugs, etc, transition planning and behavior strategies. The last chapter deals with youth violence, PBS, specific academic intervention (and RTI) and inclusion. Overall I'd say this is a good book, not too hard to read, with lots of good info. But if you're looking for something to just sit down and read this wouldn't be my choice. | ||
Emotional & Behavioral Disorders: Theory and Practice Review This book is very "dry," and it's hard to get through one chapter without yawning a few times. However, you do learn a lot. I do not recommend this book if you're reading it "just for fun!" | ||
