School Learners at Risk of Social Maladjustment: A Theoretical and Pragmatic Study

This book is a valuable didactic help (school teachers, guardians, and parents included) for those who wish to understand the specifics of education better and for students of pedagogical and psychological faculties who plan to work with young people in various educational institutions.

This volume examines the problems and challenges of social maladjustment at school from a theoretical and practical perspective – it not only aims to present the latest scientific research on students at risk of social maladjustment (as well as those socially maladjusted) but also proposes strategies and methods of working with those a-ected by it. In nine chapters focusing on various aspects of social maladjustment in school, the authors use their professional and scientific experience to present practical tips and suggestions for teachers, therapists, and pedagogues suggesting preventive actions to counteract pathological phenomena in schools.

This book will be useful for all those professionally involved in the fields of education, psychology, sociology, remote work, and/or studies on child and youth development. It could also be an invaluable companion to policy-makers and professionals from government and nongovernment organizations working towards inclusive education and social development. Additionally, it will serve as a compendium of guiding methods for problems encountered in professional work.
