Argues that recent developments in the curriculum and in administrative structures for pupils with special educational needs have tended to marginalise the term 'emotional' or to combine it loosely with 'behavioural'. Looks at the influence of forty years of behavioural psychology on the UK Code of Practice for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and related government circulars and suggests an alternative model for conceptualising emotional difficulties. The article suggests that if the term 'emotional' is to be used in statements and IEPs in the future, then appropriate ways of defining, assessing and providing for these will have to be found.
