Progress In Behavior Modification

Progress in Behavior Modification

Progress in Behavior Modification, Volume 11 covers the developments in the study of behavior modification. The book discusses the pluralistic psychology of behavior change; the methodological issues in child behavior therapy; and the interpersonal-skills training with adolescents. The text also describes the behavior modification of work and work-related problems; the behavioral treatment of migraine and muscle-contraction headaches; and the modification of children's social withdrawal. An assessment of hyperactive children, with regard to the psychometric, methodological, and practical considerations, is considered. Psychologists, psychiatrists, and sociologists will find the book invaluable.

Volume 22 includes such topics as: behaviour and environmental interactions, the role of social skills training in the rehabilitation of those with psychological disorders, cognitive retraining for brain-injured patients and behavioural interventions for families of developmentally disabled children. Single-subject methodology is presented as a possible bridge to the gap between the researcher and practitioner. Finally, the problems of sleep/wake disorders in children and adolescents as well as the problems behaviourists themselves face in a nonbehavioural world are considered.
