  abstract     = {{Worldwide, there is a high number of early school dropout in both regular and
special education. In this regard, especially children with special educational needs are
considered at risk for early school dropout since they often exhibit emotional and
behavioral difficulties, which have been typically conceptualized as externalizing and
internalizing problems. If emotional and behavioral difficulties persist, they may seriously
disrupt the educational process and pose a difficult challenge for schools and teachers, who
are, in fact, not specifically trained to deal with emotional and behavioral difficulties.
Within these circumstances, mainly teachers with limited social and emotional
competencies experience a lot of stress, feelings of powerlessness, and loss of control. To
regain control, these teachers frequently use behavioral strategies such as time-out as well
as disciplinary measures. However, the inappropriate use of these strategies may
paradoxically put further pressure on the relationship between the teacher and the child
and, moreover, lead to an increase in children’s emotional and behavioral difficulties. At
the teacher level, this cascade may ultimately result in chronic stress, exhaustion, burnout,
and absenteeism, while at the child-level, in reduced academic performance, suspension,
and school exclusion. How can we stop these vicious circles? How can we ameliorate the
well-being of these children and their teachers at school? It is aimed to look for some
answers in this PhD thesis.}},
