Emerging Research and Issues in Behavioral Disabilities: Incremental Progress and Introduction to the Volume

Abstract

Emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) are complex and challenging, and the problems of children and youth with EBD have perplexed scholars and professionals for centuries. In this volume, authors of the chapter describe recent advances in research and current issues in the education and treatment of EBD in children and youth. Although progress in solving the problems of EBD has been slow, and many problems and issues have persisted for decades, the incremental progress offered by science, as reflected in the chapters contained herein, represents our best hope not for solving or curing EBD, but for moving the field forward in improving outcomes for children and youth with EBD and their families.
