Alternatives to Punishment,
This review is from: Alternatives to Punishment: Solving Behavior Problems With Non-Aversive Strategies (Paperback)
Written by professionals, for professionals, and about professional contribtions to applied behavioral science, this book hits the mark at which it aimed. It provides a comprehensive treatment of alternatives to punishment in dealing with behavior problems evidenced by human beings at various levels of development and in various circumstances. Based upon their own extensive observations and a thorough-going analysis of relevant experimental studies, Gary LaVigna and Anne Donnellan have put together a document that is at once a teaching instrument, a summary of research, and an argument for the use of positive reinforcement in the treatment of inadequate or undesired behavior. It is also, I believe, a book that can be read with profit by psychiatrists, by educationalists, and by clinical psychologists of every stripe - especially those who are acquainted with the basic concepts of present-day behaviorism.
