More About This Textbook

Overview

This engaging introduction to the field of behavior therapy is approachable enough for beginning students, yet its comprehensive treatment of the subject is scholarly, current, and resource-oriented enough to appeal to advanced students and professionals. The book broadly surveys contemporary behavior therapy, covering all the major therapy techniques, applications, and client populations as well as extensions of behavior therapy to areas such as behavioral medicine and behavioral community psychology. The book synthesizes the clinical, experimental, professional, and ethical facets of working in the behavior therapy field and provides a wealth of actual case material. Throughout the text, assessment and research issues are integrated with the discussion of therapy, an integration consistent with the practice in the field.

Intro. to principles/concepts; application of specific therapies; complex applications; ethical issues.

    SUPERB

    Easy to understand and navigate through material even if one is not familiar with behavioral concepts and terms. Our Graduate School of Social Work at the Univ of Illinois uses this textbook and I found this book very comprehensive of behavioral theory.
