Emotional Disorders: What to Do and What to Avoid is a practical guide that offers secondary school teachers simple strategies to use in the classroom to successfully deal with 15 problematic behaviors that are typical of emotional disorders, suggesting how to act and how not to.

• A more in-depth description of the specific problem behaviourbeing worked on: Analysis of the problem behaviour. • The tools and educational strategies to create the intervention: How to intervene.
