I have started to edit the header and make sections more clear, while doing that I found that the "Criteria" Section is copied and pasted directly into Wiki, so I/we might have to completely re-due that section.Boobiewaffletoosh (talk) 01:44, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

History of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders

[edit]

Various terms have been used to describe irregular emotional and behavioral disorders. Many of the terms such as mental illness and psychopathology were used to describe adults with such conditions. (1) Mental Illness was a label for most people with any type of disorder and it was common for people with emotional and behavioral disorders to be labeled with a mental illness. (2) However, those terms were avoided when describing children as it seemed too stigmatizing. In the late 1900s the term behaviorally disordered appeared. Some professionals in the field of special education accepted the term while others felt it ignored emotional issues. (1) In order to make a more uniformed terminology, the National Mental Health and Special Education Coalition, which consists of over thirty professional and advocacy groups, came together in 1988 and coined the term Emotional and Behavioral Disorders.

Before any studies were done on the subject, mental illnesses were often thought to be a form of demonic possession or witchcraft. Since much was unknown, there was little to no distinction between the different types of mental illness that we refer to today. Most often, they were dealt with by performing an exorcism on the person exhibiting signs of any mental illness. (4) In the early to mid 1800s, asylums were introduced to America and Europe. There, patients were treated cruelly and often referred to as lunatics by the doctors in the professional fields. (5) The main focus of asylums were to shun people with mental illnesses. In 1963, the Community Mental Health Centers Construction Act (Public Law 88-164), was passed by congress and signed by John F. Kennedy, which provided federal funding to community mental health centers. This legislation changed the way that mental health services were handled and also led to the closure of many large asylums. (4) Many laws soon followed assisting more and more people with EBDs. 1978 came with the passing of Public Law 94- 142 which required free and public education to all handicapped children including those with EBDs. An extension of PL 94-142, PL 99-457, was put into act which would provide services to all handicapped children from the ages of 3-5 by the 1990-91 school year. (3) PL 94-142 has since been renamed to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
