Excellent. Easy to read and understand, arranged logically, and loaded with walk-through examples. I wish I had read this as an undergrad.

[Bailey Marissa · Rating 3 out of 5]

I never like behavior classes, but this made it a little more interesting.

Used with Liberty University Online's PSYC 320.

Recommended 12+ for topics younger readers may not understand.

This is a great textbook and I would highly recommend what it has to offer and taking it as a university level course, im just rating it very low so that Goodreads doesn't pull a fast one and try to recommend more books like it for me to read lol :)

I read this entire textbook for uni so you bet I’m counting this towards my goodreads goal 🤪

[Mixtape · Rating 3 out of 5]

Easy to read and understand, but not very progressive. I didn’t write it down but there were some passages where I said “WHAT” out loud because they seemed very off — like they needed more details and maybe to be phrased differently... But otherwise, the actual procedures are very clear and there’s lots of good examples of clearly explained research. I have to say the illustrations are very entertaining.

Got through about two thirds of this book, but likely will not have time to finish the rest.

This book was the most (or appeared to be the most) up-to-date textbook for behavioral psychology when I bought it about three years ago. It is often used for graduate-level psychology classes on the subject. I read it out of personal interest.

The contents are useful and interesting, and the book is well-organized.

کتاب شیوه های تغییر رفتار کتابی است با رویکرد رفتاری که با مثال های شیرین و کاربردی مفاهیم را توضیح داده و نکات را مطرح می کند. مطالعه ی این کتاب را به همه ی افرادی که علاقه مند به رویکرد رفتاردرمانی هستند، افرادی که به صورت کلی به روانشناسی علاقمند هستند و حتی کسانی که می خواهند رفتارهای مشکل آفرین خود یا نزدیکانشان را تغییر دهند، توصیه می کنم.

Very informative for aspiring psychologists. Also useful for parents and worthy and responsible employers.
Less attention to subconscious but it is behavioral psychology after-all.. Great text! Great graphs!

A great overview of ABA principles. Thoroughly researched and very well explained

[BVC · Rating 4 out of 5]

Eccellente per chiunque voglia studiare l'ABA attraverso un testo anche in termini operativi. Ricco di spunti e di "how to".

A good book. But nothing very new, mainly on education and how to modify children's behavior. Not very useful on a self-management perspective, the discussion about this is very short.

[Omama. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Had to read for the course work. The book is laden with historical researches and good examples to prove the points.

[Kaylee Jo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well written and easy to follow. But outdated concepts and terminology.

[Debbie90 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read for ESE570 graduate course.

[Natalia LeRoux]

This was for my applied behavioral analysis (ABA) psychology class. It was alright. I’m not a textbook fan

[Branwyn McCormick · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great textbook with in depth explanations of professional jargon! The author connected topics well and used concrete examples in every chapter to aid understanding!

[Genevieve · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read the 7th edition

[Sandra Rodriguez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love the book! filled with a lot of examples of each concept! Easy to follow.

[Julia Blackwell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Easy to read, and I have referenced it many times since I took the initial applied behavior analysis course. It has been very helpful in my other ABA classes. Highly recommend!

[Maha Aoki · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm giving this textbook five stars because not only was the subject interesting, it was also easy to read for the author did not use any complicated language. Also, the questions at the end of each chapter were over the most important concepts and were almost similar to the ones I saw in my actual exams. Good textbook overall; one of the few I've actually read from cover to cover.

[Rebekah · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great beginner's text in applied behavior analysis with helpful examples to illustrate terms, ideas and practices throughout.

[Beverly King · Rating 5 out of 5]

Clear and precise knowledge of behavior modication and applied behavior analysis priciples and how to apply them. If only I had this book when I first started my career in special education!

[Amanda]

Used in Professor Campbell's class. Good professor and good book.
