Psychology Essentials for Behavior Analysts

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book is a textual Unicorn. It was written by behavior analysts but it gives an even handed description of multiple aspects of psychology alongside its excellent portrayal of behavior analysis. More typical are behavior analytic texts that exclude all subjects outside the field or texts from outside the field that exclude behavior analysis. This text blends them both very effectively. I wish I would have had it when I was a first-year graduate student and/or when I first started teaching graduate students."

"In this unique text, the authors cogently describe how knowledge of psychological theories, methods, and findings can help behavior analysts improve their practices and navigate important contemporary issues, such as providing trauma-informed care and developing collaborative relationships. As behavior analysis has become increasingly siloed from its parent discipline, this reach across the aisle is a tremendous resource for behavior analysts and those who train them."

"This book has notable value for behavior analysts, albeit in some unique ways. Various topics relate directly to enhancing clinical effectiveness and acceptance whereas others will likely occasion controversy regarding the status of the behavior analysis field and recommendations for improving that status. All of these features make it a thought-provoking and worthwhile read."
