The aim of this practical and user-friendly handbook is to enable the reader to gain quick and easy access to entries relating to or associated with emotional and behavioural difficulties. It focuses on adult problems as well as those of children and adolescents. The entries clearly and succinctly define and explain emotional behavioural terms and some of the different ways in which emotional and behavioural problems can be approached or treated. Where appropriate, entires are accompanied by a brief bibliography. Useful addresses and contact numbers are also provided. The book should be useful to all teachers, mentors, social workers, educational social workers, educational psychologists, counsellors, care workers, students and other professionals and voluntary workers in allied fields. It will also be of interest to parents and carers.
