Behavioral Disorder outlines a best practice approach to
successfully integrate elementary and middle school EBD students
into the educational mainstream. The video features Bob Clasen,
professor emeritus and Molly Kilkenny, special education teacher, as
well as student portraits and family interviews.

strengths, Amanda’s story, instructional strategies, and role plays

Amanda puts theory into practice. She is charming but lonely,
hard-working but struggling with grades and aware of her challenges
yet optimistic about the future.

Working with Hostile & Resistant Teens DVD or VHS
Manage difficult students grades 7—12 in and outside the classroom
Manage difficult students grades 7—12 in and outside the classroom.
Working With Hostile and Resistant Teens provides school-tested
anger management strategies developed by therapist Steven Campbell.
Role plays with actual at risk teens acting out their own personal
histories of aggressive and manipulative behavior bring scenarios to
life.
Campbell leads the role plays, then provides an analysis of each one
showing viewers how to avoid being drawn into the “game triangle,”
which consists of a victim, persecutor and rescuer. By avoiding the
game, you reduce emotional content and are able to focus more
clearly on the student’s behavior.
Working With Hostile and Resistant Teens was originally released in
1993 and reformatted for DVD in 2004. Two 45 min. VHS videos or one
90 min. DVD, each with a guide.
