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.
