From the publisher

This book is a practical guide to the following eight perspectives on behaviour: biological -?focusing on biological and biochemical processes in accounting for behaviour; behavioural?(or behaviourist) - focusing on overt, observable and measurable behaviours and their reinforcement in accounting for behaviour; cognitive?(or cognitive-behavioural) - focusing on cognitive processes (beliefs, attitudes, expectations and attributions) in accounting for behaviour; combines both the cognitive and the behavioural perspective; social learning?- focusing on observational learning, perceived self-efficacy and expectancies in accounting for behaviour; psychodynamic?- focusing on unconscious conflicts in early childhood as accounting for current behaviour; humanistic?- focusing on low self-esteem and problems in coping with and exploring feelings in accounting for behaviour; ecosystemic?- focusing on positive and negative interactions between teachers and students within the school and those that externally affect the school; these interactions are seen as accounting for behaviour; ecological?- focusing on the influence of systems and the environment in accounting for behaviour. The aim of the book is to enable the reader to develop a structured approach to emotional and behavioural problems by drawing on one or more of the above perspectives.

First line

This perspective is included solely for information for teachers so that they are aware of how developments in the field of biology relate to particular types of behaviour problems, most notably ADHD and autism.
