Description
This text explains how students can master the principles and concepts of behaviour modification before they move on to the procedures. This approach gives them a chance to understand why they are going through the procedures before they actually do them. The book presents a step-by-step scientific approach to explain human behaviour and numerous case studies are also used to help illustrate the key principles.
