Book Overview
Behavior Change in the Human Services, Fourth Edition provides an introduction and overview of behavior change principles and their applications to a wide range of problems and situations encountered in the human services professions. A book designed for both students and practitioners, it uses a problem-solving framework to facilitate the application of behavior change principles to practice situations. Featuring a detailed and sequential organization that encourages readers to move progressively through material of increasing complexity, Behavior Change in the Human Services, Fourth Edition includes eight clinical case study examples that will speak to readers from a variety of academic disciplines. These cases illustrate the application of behavior change principles in a variety of practice settings and include issues such as substance abuse, child behavior problems, difficulties being assertive, marital discord, and developing appropriate social behaviors. New to this edition is a chapter on intervention techniques that includes behavioral and cognitive strategies for addressing clinical problems such as phobias, anxiety disorders, depression, and other behavioral disorders. This new edition also integrates cognitive concepts throughout the book rather than limiting them to a single chapter.
Including objectives, pretests, and posttests that provide students with feedback on their learning as they progress through the book, Behavior Change in the Human Services, Fourth Edition also features figures, charts, and forms to demonstrate data collection and analysis. Any student pursuing a career in the helping professions, including social work, psychology, counseling, special education, nursing, and psychiatry will find this book valuable.
