Summary:

This handbook aims to be a one-stop resource for those working in service and applied research settings. About 20 of the contributors have been or are currently editors or associate editors of major behavioral journals. They describe theory, research, methods, and practices of applied behavior analysis (ABA), giving examples from different settings. After a review of the history and philosophy of ABA, the book explains basic principles and concepts and describes methods for measurement and experimental design. Later chapters detail methods for behavioral assessment and interventions for increasing desirable behavior and decreasing problem behavior. Final sections describe sub-specialties within the field of ABA, such as behavioral pediatrics and treatment of drug addiction, and examine professional issues such as ethics and professional certification. The book is for special educators, school and clinical psychologists, autism specialists, and professionals in behavioral medicine. It can be used in graduate courses in psychology and education and in ABA certification programs. Fisher directs the Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders at the University of Nebraska's Munroe-Meyer Institute. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
