Contemporary behavior therapy encompasses diverse conceptual
positions, clinical and applied problems, and intervention
techniques. Behavior therapy has spread to several disciplines to
provide substantive concepts and procedures as well as
methodological tenets regarding how intervention techniques are to
be evaluated. The proliferation of behavior therapy research has
produced a plethora of texts. Typically texts review the history of
particular treatments and detail contemporary advances. The
historical underpinnings are often emphasized with the heavily
labored view that in order to understand where one is going, it is
important to understand where one has been. To be sure, historical
roots of behavior therapy are important to document. However, a
given history might have many different outcomes. Similarly, the
current status of par ticular areas is frequently reviewed.
Sometimes the number of reviews seems to approach or exceed the
number of sound studies that there are to be reviewed. A review of
current work is obviously essential but leaves open major questions
of where the work will all lead. A valuable addition to ex isting
reviews would be information that points in a prescriptive or
explicit way to areas that are likely to be important in future
work. The present book is unique in its approach and focus. Brief
reviews of contemporary advances are provided in diverse areas of
behavior therapy and serve as a point of departure to chart
emerging trends and future direc tions."
