Characteristics of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders of Children and Youth

by James M. Kauffman, Timothy J. Landrum

The tenth edition of Characteristics of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders of Children and Youth follows the text's long-standing reputation for trusted research, a teacher-focused presentation, and clear explanations of the concepts related to students with EBD. Streamlined in this edition, the text offers a coherent conceptualization of the problems of students with emotional and behavioral disorders and the common challenges for teachers. Its four-part format examines the background of EBD, the origins of disordered behaviors, types of disorders and the procedures and problems associated with assessment. This edition includes over 150 new references, a unified chapter on assessment, a new emphasis on teaching social skills and a separately available companion casebook filled with cases and interviews from teachers in the field.

Great overview of what emotional and behavioral disorders are and the assessment chapter give a strong insight on aspect of special education that might not covered in a mild to moderate disabilities course. I wish I got the case study book to go along with the text to get a wider picture of how ebd behaviors can be displayed.

Good read for a textbook. Kauffman and Landrum do a nice job of presenting issues and concepts from several different perspectives, most textbooks are one-sided, so this is an amazing feature.
