Working with challenging behaviour

This section offers some ways of thinking about behaviour, our immediate objective in managing that behaviour, and our primary task in working with young people; these ways of thinking can bring greater clarity and effectiveness. This section also addresses self and relationship as inextricable components of working with challenging behaviour. Physical restraint is briefly discussed as the extreme end of working with challenging behaviour, and finally, some practical advice and further reading are offered

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic study of abhurite Sn21O6Cl16(OH)(14)

Abhurite Sn21O6Cl16(OH)(14) is a tin oxy-hydroxychloride discovered in 1985 as a tin corrosion product formed after long immersion in seawater, has been synthesised and studied using FTIRAS analysis. The vibrational spectra obtained in transmission and reflectance modes of analysis are presented and compared to the vibrational spectra determined by Kramers-Kronig analysis. Transversal and longitudinal (TO and LO) optical modes have been identified. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
