Review:

"An exciting and innovative text for all teachers at every stage of professional development, this book is written in an accessible and captivating style, enabling practitioners to immediately find helpful suggestions and relevant, engaging ideas."

Author: Gerald Monk, Director of School Counseling

"This is undoubtedly one of the best pieces that I have ever read on problem students and I think it will be a ‘classic" handbook for practitioners in the future."

Author: Rick Heidt

"With so many teachers leaving the profession due to frustration and teacher burnout, this book is an important tool in helping education professionals to see situations in a different light. Kottler′s book is a meaningful addition to the field of eduation in that it helps educators and others in the field to realize that they often have control in situations in which they had previously perceived themselves as being powerless and helpless." Author: Contemporary Psychology APA Review of Books, February 2004

"Offers specific strategies for dealing with and preventing problematic behavior. A significant resource for principals, whether they are dealing with these students themselves, working with teachers who are having problems with specific studetns, or developing content for a staff study group."
