Not only a good BM book, but it's the best textbook I've ever had!Reviewed by The Red Aaron, 2010-03-09
It is a very clear and concise book, the examples are good and understandable. The reason why it's the best textbook I've ever bought is because the author doesn't try too hard. Most authors try so hard to sound collegiate, they end up writing textbooks at an 82nd grade reading difficulty, and it is just a bore to read through such pompous crap. The other reason why it's great is because each chapter is reasonably short. Finally, a textbook with chapters that are not 50-100 pages long. Praise the Lord, I never would've thought it was possible. I joke that I could become a millionaire by taking most textbooks and condensing them down to what they're actually talking about. Well, I couldn't, and would not be able to do that, with this one.
HORRIBLE - NEVER RECEIVED BOOKReviewed by T. PEREZ, 2010-03-04
Not only did I NOT receive my book, but I had to contact them. Then they responded that they had lost my book and were going to refund me. I'll give them that, they did refund me immediately.
The Holy Grail of PsychologyReviewed by W. E. Baehr, 2010-01-09
This is the holy grail and treasure house of practical psychology. The common pyschobabble and dope pusher psychology does not solve psychological (behavior) problems; they maintain or make the behaviors worse through their psychobabble and drugs. Learn what learning and helping is really all about. Notice: If you are committed to superstition, nonsense, the public fool system, folk psychology, drugs, mythology,and making a living off the misery of others then forget about this book. You will hate it. If you are committed to science and reason then this book will really be a treasure to you.
Clear and preciseReviewed by B. Young, 2009-03-14
This is a great book for anyone looking to understand behavioral
modification and how to apply an AB model. The book is clear and
precise and explains line by line on how to use the
techniques.
The behavioral interview has been most helpful in my work with
people with disabilities and discovering the predictors of behavior
that needs to be changed.
Behavior ModificationReviewed by Patrick, 2008-12-20
Had to but this book for a advanced behavioral modification course. I really like this book because each chapter is broken down into manageable parts that is easy to prepare for. The quizzes on the end of each chapter as well as the test really prep you for the midterm and final.
