Adult Behavior Therapy Casebook

Several year~ ago we edited a casebook on behavior therapy with children. The book appeared to fill a gap in the existing child literature and was quite well received. A similar gap appears to exist in the behavioral literature for adult cases, in that there are very few adult case books currently available. The present book was developed in order to devote an entire casebook to both standard and more innovative clinical applications of behavioral treatments to adult problems. The book, containing 19 chapters, is divided into two parts. In the first part, in a chapter entitled Clinical Considerations, we discuss a variety of clinical issues that are of importance to designing and executing behaviorally based interventions with adults. The bulk of the book, the remaining 18 chap ters, contains a variety of cases presented by our experts. Each of the treatment cases is presented using the same format in order to increase consistency and comparability across chapters. Specific sections for each chapter are as follows: (1) Description of the Disorder, (2) Case Identification, (3) Presenting Complaints, (4) History, (5) Assessment, (6) Se lection of Treatment, (7) Course of Treatment, (8) Termination, (9) Follow-up, and (10) Overall Evaluation. Thanks are extended to our many expert contributors, without whom this book would not be possible. We also wish to acknowledge the technical support of Mrs. Kim Sterner. Finally, we thank our editor at Plenum, Eliot Werner, for his support and forbearance in the face of the inevitable delays.

Behavior Modification
Assuming no prior knowledge of behaviour modification or psychology, this widely-adopted text offers students personal, hands-on experience with the principles of behaviour modification and their application to everyday concerns from helping children learn life's necessary skills to solving some of their own personal behaviour problems. *NEW-Adds/expands/updates coverage of key topics to reflect recent developments in the field, e.g.: - Parenting and gerontology. - Establishing operations. - Concurrent schedules and the matching law. - Teaching independent use of prompts in chaining procedures. - Conceptual behavior, equivalence classes, and behavioral momentum. - The causes of emotions. - The distinction between functional assessment and experimental functional analysis. - The treatment of habit disorders. *NEW-Features two new lead cases and provides additional examples to better illustrate the application of principles in everyday life with adults as well as children (versus the way these principles have been harnessed by therapists to change behavior), e.g.: - Distinguishing between the reinforcement schedules for reducing behavior: DRL, DRO, and DRI. - The nature of escape and
