  • A rich account of how the human brain creates behaviour, and why this can go wrong

  • Consideration of the causes of different types of difficult behaviour in school, and effective approaches at individual and whole school levels

  • An overall framework for understanding why pupils do what they do and how we can respond and prevent it.
