"Students in Discord" fills a void in the professional
literature concerning adolescents with emotional and behavioral
disorders by providing theoretical information about psychiatric
and psychological diagnoses with practical information about actual
public school students who show both externalizing and
internalizing disorders. In the process, the book provides
understanding about disorders in childhood and adolescence and
enhances understanding of federal guidelines on emotional
disturbance, specifically those provided in the Individuals With
Disabilities Education Act. The author provides suggested
educational strategies that represent behavioral, psychological,
sociological, and environmental models and that aim to both
decrease undesirable behaviors and increase desirable ones.
Theoretical issues covering disorders related to personality,
disruptive behavior, eating, mood, anxiety, and development are
illustrated by 57 adolescents whose feelings and behaviors are
presented through anecdotal material, direct quotes from them and
their teachers, life facts, and student writings. Additional
perspectives are provided by comparing federal and practical
definitional characteristics of emotional disturbance and
discussing concerns about the inability of students with emotional
and behavioral disorders to detach, the inclusion of
socially-maladjusted students in the ED (emotionally disturbed)
category, and the interrelation of emotional and behavioral
disorders.
