Behavior modification has lacked operational procedures to
sharpen techniques and equipment. These aspects have lagged behind
the development of general principles and specialized modification
techniques. This sophisticated sourcebook is devoted exclusively to
the technical details of "how-to-do-it" in behavioral assessment
and practice--an aspect of behavior modification that is relatively
undeveloped despite its significance and that has only recently
received the attention it deserves.
The selections contained in this volume have been drawn from a
variety of technical areas and are organized into six main parts.
The first part emphasizes the importance of technology and
procedure in the history of the field, and in the second part
attention is given to guidelines for practice with individuals and
families that may be employed with a wide variety of problems and
patrons in many service settings. The next part, on interviewing
guidelines and style, includes an interview guide for behavioral
counseling and a general discussion of types of bias and therapist
influence in behavioral assessment. Part four is concerned with
observation, recording, and monitoring; and part five, on schedules
and checklists, includes a variety of schedules and rating forms,
including a therapist schedule for rating family verbal behavior.
The last part, on instrumentation in behavior therapy, contains a
chapter that is a major, comprehensive description and review of
electromechanical devices applicable to behavior modification.
Because the book covers procedural details, it serves not only
as a sourcebook but as a volume every practicing behavior modifier,
as well as researchers in behavior therapy and modification will
find useful. Social workers, teachers, clinical psychologists,
psychiatrists, pastoral counselors, and their students will
appreciate this manual covering technical information required for
effective practice.
