Editorials

Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties

This is a marvellous book. Its coverage is encyclopedic and goes well beyond the classroom management and diversity issues of the title. It is a useful handbook for specialists as well as a fine text for teachers and students on teacher-training courses. The author has a gift for succinct summary that is always comprehensive, judicious and balanced. On the substantive topic of the title the book is packed with fascinating detail, discussed with the breezy insouciance that could come only from a nation of immigrants.

Journal Of Education For Teaching

This book should be accessible reference material for all teachers, who by definition should be interested readers in the topic.

Teacher

A good measure of a book like this is to ask whether it might help even the most accomplished behavior management expert. My hunch is that it would.
— Steven Holden, Australian Council for Educational Research

Teachers College Record
