This article discusses the perceptions of students with emotional and behavioral difficulties (EBD) regarding the effectiveness of teachers’ classroom management practices. The interviews with fourteen PDC students enrolled in secondary school special class were analyzed using a qualitative thematic analysis approach. Based on the model of the five components of classroom management, the results offer an unprecedented perspective on classroom management and reveal a large inventory of practices perceived effective by participants to manage the classroom. They also reveal that the type of school attended and attitudes towards it particularly influence their perceptions. Finally, the perceptions of students with EBD are quite consistent with the practices recommended by research in the field.

This study examined the use of inclusive practices by 1,373 Quebec teachers to promote prosocial behaviour, according to their individual and contextual characteristics. Two questionnaires were used: a sociodemographic and a validated Classroom Behaviour Management Practices Inventory (N = 68 items; 2 dimensions/7 scales α = .70 to .90). Results from descriptive and univariate variance analysis showed that proactive /positive dimension practices (e.g., rules, instructional, reinforcement-based) are used more frequently than reductive dimension practices (e.g., educational consequences), although some of the latter are frequently used. Hierarchical models indicate significant interrelationships with teachers characteristics and the scales of classroom behaviour management practices, but for a small proportion of explained variance.

Objective: To examine the relationship between co-occurring substance use disorders (SUDs) and other psychiatric disorders (OPD) and a wide range of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk behaviors.Method: The data are from 17,141 youth aged 12–25 entering 148 adolescent and young adult treatment programs in the United States who were interviewed at intake and at one or more quarterly follow-up visits for 12 months using the Global Appraisal of Individual Needs (GAIN). Of the participants, 90% were adolescents (ages 12–17), 10% transitional-aged youth (ages 18–25), 72% male, 39% White, 16% African American, 26% Hispanic, 3% another race and 16% multi-racial. Approximately 61% of self-reports met past-year criteria for both SUD and OPD, 18% for SUD only and 10% for OPD only. Transitional-aged youth were similar in demographic and clinical characteristics, though a higher percentage (25%) reported SUD only.Results: For both age groups, individuals with co-occurring SUD and OPD were consistently the most likely to report past-year needle use; needle sharing; unprotected sex; multiple sexual partners; sex trading; high-risk sex partners; a history of physical, emotional, and sexual victimization; self-mutilation; suicidal or homicidal thoughts; illegal activity; and violence towards others. Transitional-aged youth also had the highest rates of emergency room visits and cost to society. Co-occurring SUD and OPD also impacts post-treatment outcomes; while frequently starting and ending with greater severity, this group still had the largest reductions in several risk behaviors, substance use, emotional problems, illegal activity, and costs to society from intake to follow-up.Discussion: The implications of these findings are discussed, along with possible strategies to improve the effectiveness of treatment and recovery support services for these youth.

AbstractThe present study compared the teacher ratings and self-perceptions of two groups of children with emotional and/or behavioural difficulties: a) Those with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and b) those with average or below average levels of hyperactivity and attention. Results showed that the ADHD group was rated more poorly by teachers in academic, social, and behavioural domains. This group also inflated their competency ratings in these domains relative to teacher report more than the comparison group.

Performance anxiety is a frequent motive for consultation among postsecondary students. In this article, we discuss the role of experiential avoidance and cognitive fusion in performance anxiety, and explain how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help students cope with their anxiety differently. We illustrate the form this approach can take by presenting a group intervention developed in 2012 and offered in several postsecondary institutions in Quebec and France. We conclude this article by positioning this intervention within the student services framework proposed by the Canadian Association of College and University Student Services (CACUSS).

With the aim of exploring some of the mechanisms and negotiations involved in family transmission, we conducted a field study based on the life story method with a group of young Montrealers in fall 2019. Qualitative data collection and analysis followed the “family novel and social trajectory” approach, as developed in clinical sociology. Through a process of “guided recollection,” research participants were encouraged to share their family histories and put into words the sources of belonging and individuality that underpin their self-identity. The article analyzes how the resulting narratives highlight various strategies used to negotiate and reshape identity. Furthermore, genealogical imperatives emerged within various modes of relation and identification, triggering imitation mechanisms that produced both suffering and resilience.
