Behavior Modification is a comprehensive, practical presentation of
the principles of behavior modification and guidelines for their
application. It introduces forms of behavior modification ranging
from helping children learn necessary life skills, to training
pets, to solving personal behavior problems. It teaches practical
“how-to” skills, including discerning long-term effects;
designing, implementing, and evaluating behavioral programs;
interpreting behavioral episodes; observing and recording
behaviors; and recognizing instances of reinforcement, extinction,
and punishment. The material is presented in an engaging, readable
format that assumes no prior knowledge of behavior modification or
psychology. Specific cases and examples clarify issues and make the
principles real. Guidelines throughout provide a ready source to
use as a reference in applying the principles. Questions for
Learning, an average of 25 per chapter, are included to support
students in checking their knowledge of the material when preparing
for tests and exams. Application Exercises are also included in
most chapters to assist students in the development of the
practical skills they will need to complete behavior modification
projects effectively. Behavior Modification is ideal for courses in
Behavior Modification, Applied Behavior Analysis, Behavior Therapy,
the Psychology of Learning, and related areas; and for students and
practitioners of various helping professions—such as clinical
psychology, counselling, education, medicine, nursing, occupational
therapy, physiotherapy, psychiatric nursing, psychiatry, social
work, speech therapy, and sport psychology—who are concerned
directly with enhancing various forms of behavior development.
