Focuses on assessment and development of interventions for school-aged children with social and personal behavioral problems treated in both clinical and school settings. The book's major focus concerns the development of assessment processes that lead to appropriate and effective interventions for a range of social and personal difficulties experienced by school-aged children in a variety of contexts (home, school, culturally diverse communities). It will help students and professionals understand behaviors that interfere with children's social and personal growth, the context in which these behaviors develop, the events or situations which maintain the behaviors, and the range of means to effect change.
