Opis

Behavior modification has lacked operational procedures to sharpen techniques and equipment. These aspects have lagged behind the development of general principles and specialized modifi cation 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 modifi cation that is relatively undeveloped despite its signifi cance and that has only recently received the attention it deserves.
