Review by Angela Weis, 2000-08-07

This is an excellent book that gives detailed information and specific examples of behavior modification. It is usefull for anybody working with infants up to adults in either maintaining or increasing positive behavior or decreasing negative behavior. The quizzes are extremely helpful in assuring that the content of the book is understood. I would recommend this book to anybody in the social service field working with youth especially in order to better deal with behavior and understand what motivates us to do the things we do.
