How to Help Children and Young People with Complex Behavioural Difficulties by Barbara Knowles
The authors examine the underlying causes of BESD, and discuss research-based theory. They offer a range of interventions and therapies for use in and out of school, and encourage practitioners to develop skills such as engaging with parents, identifying special educational needs and setting constructive boundaries.
This will be a welcome resource as part of professional development for practitioners in both mainstream and special schools working with children with BESDIt will provide a useful audit of practice; perhaps reminding practitioners of what they are doing well. It will serve as an introduction to other interventions that may be new to them. EPs should not hesitate in reading it themselves, or recommending to colleagues in schools, especially those with responsibility with BESD. -- Debate
This is a useful addition to a series of books relating to difficult-to-reach young people published by Jessica Kingsley.

While the book's title describes children with "complex difficulties", many of the ideas and programmes summarised have relevance to all professionals; as well as being perfect reading for those practitioners newly introduced to the field, it provides an excellent overview of "what's out there" for more experienced professionals. -- Children & Young People Now
