Synopsis

With Miltenberger's Behavior Modification, students first master the principles and concepts of behavior modification before they move on to the procedures. This approach gives students a chance to understand why they are going through the procedures before they actually do them. The author takes equal care with the content in presenting a precise, step-by-step scientific approach to explain human behavior. Numerous case studies help to illustrate the principles of behavior modification.

Review:

"I just wanted to write and let you know how highly impressed I have been with your book "Behavior Modification Principles and Procedures". I read it for a behavior modification class I took at The University of North Carolina at Wilimington two years ago. At the time myself and other classmates were impressed with how easy it was to understand and how interesting it was to read. Thanks to your book and my instructor Dr. Christine Hughes I gained such a thorough understanding of behavior modification principals and have been able to apply many of them in my workplace repeatedly. It is also one of the few textbooks that I read for pleasure. Thank you for writing a book that brings students to gain a real passion for a subject area."
