Description
This text emphasizes practical solutions to behaviour problems. Creating a simulated classroom, course content is presented by "Dr. Cee" - a fictitious instructor who interacts with equally fictitious students. Through Dr. Cee, the author teaches the language of behaviour theory and analysis as well as the most important procedures for changing behaviour and the principles that underlay those procedures. The students ask questions, giving the reader a chance to see if they know the answer to the questions raised.
