SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"In Learning from Behavior, James Levine shows us how to observe, question, and think about problem behaviors in such a way that we can understand what is motivating the children to act as they do. Behavior often represents what the child cannot communicate, due to language limitations, level of psychological development, or traumatic experience." "Cases included in this book range from noncompliance and poor academic performance to disinhibition, suspected ADHD, PTSD, and injury-caused acting out. We hear about the history of behavioral interventions, listen as children tell us how they perceive these interventions, and look over the social worker's shoulder as helping strategies are put into action."--Jacket.
