Book reviews [International Journal of Emotional Education, 16(1)]

The books reviewed here are all relevant to the concept of social and emotional learning (SEL). The first, Is This Autism? A Guide for Clinicians and Everyone Else, examines the social and emotional needs of children, adolescents and adults who are neurodiverse. What is unique about this book is that the authors are neurodiverse, and they took advice from a panel of autistic people as they wrote it. The second edited book, Assessing Competencies for Social and Emotional Learning: Conceptualization, Development, and Applications, is written by leading experts in the field of SEL assessment. The third book, Bully Blocking: Empowering Students to Manage Bullying. A Guidebook for Teachers, Parents and Counsellors, gives a wealth of practical advice to educators, mental health professionals and parents on how to help those children who are being bullied at school and how to build up their self-confidence, self-esteem and resilience. Each will be of interest to readers of IJEE.
