A group of leading researchers in the field of social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD) communicate their vision of what the ""E"" in SEBD really means... a very important book, giving the views and experiences of students with SEBD the long overdue place they should rightly have in the literature. The reader will be surprised by what these students have to say about their school experience and the valuable contribution they can make for themselves and their peers. After reading this book, the reader will appreciate that finally, 'emotional education', the often missing link, has been placed in its right context. A must read for teachers, practitioners and decision makers who want to make a difference in the education and life of these children and young people.
