Answer 2

If you can handle academic literature, look up articles and books from the following authors:

Russel Barkley
Ross Greene
Marsha Linehan

The DSM-IV-TR can be really dry, but gives a systematic run-down of the symptoms of every mental disorder we have a name for. Many of these symptoms are of course behavioral in nature. It's a good resource book, and gives a symptomological framwork for the most common mental health difficulties you see in people whose behaviors are sometimes hard to understand.

These resources won't give you a specific or detailed look into the science of behavior (i.e. neuroanatomy, neurobiochemistry, etc.) but might inspire you to think more deeply about where people's behavioral attempts to manage their surroundings go awry.
