Part 1 Problems as mysteries - educators as sleuths: why it is so difficult to change behaviour; how educators can influence problem behaviours by changing themselves; understanding how different interpretations of a given behaviour can all be true at the same time. Part 2 Viewing problems through different lenses: thinking differently about a problem; looking for positive motivations; seeing the positive functions of problem behaviours. Part 3 Techniques for setting change in motion: encouraging the problem behaviour to continue - differently; influencing the problem indirectly; focusing on what is not a problem. Part 4 Sustaining positive change over time: predicting relapses; if at first you don't suceed - guidelines for trying again; how is an educator changed by using these techniques?.
