Disruptive Behavior Disorders: Evidence-Based Practice for Assessment and Intervention by Frank M. Gresham PhD

Frank M. Gresham delves into the complexities of disruptive behavior disorders in school-aged children, providing a thorough examination of evidence-based practices for assessment and intervention. This insightful work addresses the common tendency of educational institutions to implement punitive measures, often failing to meet the needs of about 10% of K-8 students exhibiting challenging behaviors.

Through a combination of research, practical strategies, and a focus on supportive rather than punitive approaches, Gresham equips educators and practitioners with the tools necessary to understand and effectively manage disruptive behaviors. By emphasizing a comprehensive, evidence-based framework, he encourages a transformation in how schools address these issues, aiming to foster a more inclusive and understanding environment for all students.
