| Summary |
"Raymond G. Miltenberger engages you in the study of behavioral modification, using a precise, step-by-step, scientific approach to explain human behavior, and case studies and examples to illustrate key principles. Each concept is presented within the context of pertinent research and is then further clarified with examples showing how each behavioral principle can be applied to everyday life. Current scholarship, engaging authorship, ample graphs and illustrations, and a clear organization make Miltenberger's text very accessible - even for those with no background in psychology."--BOOK JACKET |
