The development of a holistic psychopedagogical and psychotherapeutic approach to emotional disorders and behavioral problems through the synthesis of various theoretical models and available psychopedagogical/psychotherapeutic techniques, primarily within the school context, is the subject of this book.

The author provides an extensive review of the available, internationally, research and clinical data concerning the psychosocial characteristics and functioning of children with behavioral problems and emotional difficulties and presents new theoretical models for approaching problematic situations in school and family, as well as intervention methods.

He thoroughly describes the main elements of the individual and family dynamics of these children, the risk factors, the protective/stimulating factors, at both social and school levels, and analyzes in detail the dynamics that develop in school settings and the difficulties faced by educators in managing specific cases of children.

Particular emphasis is placed on presenting modern psychopedagogical, psychosocial, and clinical/psychotherapeutic interventions to address disorganized and disruptive behaviors and corresponding emotional difficulties, aiming to integrate children into the school framework.

Finally, he critiques the traditional one-dimensional psychiatric approach to childhood disorders and proposes an inclusive model of supportive counseling intervention within the school context for children, parents, and educators.

A special chapter is dedicated to the phenomena of school bullying, as well as addictions and risky behaviors (cyberbullying) on the internet.

The book is aimed at clinical and school psychologists, educators, special educators, and all mental health professionals who come into contact with children exhibiting mild to more severe behavioral problems and emotional difficulties and are interested in intervention methods, as well as understanding the psychology/the mental and interpersonal dynamics of these specific children.

An enriched edition of the book is also available in English titled: Children with Behavioral Disorders: Ecosystemic Psychodynamic Interventions within Family and School Context (New York: Nova Science).
