"This book provides a valuable introduction to the use of behavioral methods with
individual clients. As the author points out, working with individuals and communities
should not be an eitheror choice; both are often necessary. Incisive, well-written
descriptions of a variety of intervention methods are included. The collaborative and
normalizing aspects of the behavioral model are highlighted throughout. New behavioral
research is discussed and applied to personal problems such as depression and relationship
issues. Readers will learn about advances concerning equivalence relationships and
rule-governed behavior that they can apply to their work with clients. Detailed attention
is given to the assessment phase of work with clients as well as to intervention, and an
entire chapter is devoted to relationship issues."Eileen
