Description: With a blend of psychological and developmental perspectives, this encyclopedic volume offers practitioners an array of revolutionary behavioral intervention strategies that work. Extended case studies illustrate effective new ways to resolve multiple and specific behavior problems in children and adults, including those associated with developmental disabilities, emotional disturbances, challenging behavior, chronic psychiatric disorders, sexual misconduct, and involvement with gangs.

In addition the authors discuss current literature; analyze the contexts of intervention; explore model programs; and offer innovative, practical intervention techniques for behaviorists, psychologists, special educators, social workers, family support personnel, policy makers, and medical professionals.
