Emotional and Behavioral Disorders

In this topic you will learn about children with emotional and behavioral disorders. The topic is arranged a little differently from the earlier topic on mild mental retardation. In this topic we will look at specific conditions that result in a diagnosis of severe emotional disturbance. Rather than separate out information about characteristics, etiology, and interventions, I have included them in each online lesson. At the conclusion of this topic you will be asked to apply your knowledge to a case study of a child with a severe emotional disturbance.


Objectives:


At the conclusion of this topic, you should be able to:

  1. Define "severe emotional disturbance," "anxiety," "depression," "conduct disorders," and "schizophrenia."
  2. Discuss information about the relative prevalence and incidence of emotional and behavioral disorders in our schools and our communities.
  3. Discuss the potential causes of emotional and behavioral disorders.
  4. Review the most prominent theoretical perspectives of emotional and behavioral disorders.
