5.0 out of 5 stars
This book is a classic,
By Bradley H. Smith (Department of Psychology, Univerisity of South Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Behavior Modification in Applied Settings (Paperback)
Kazdin's treatment of Behavior Modification in Applied Settings is comprehensive and lucid. It is extremly helpful for teaching behavior therapy to graduate students in clincal and school psychology. I strongly recommend this book to anyone involved in the process of promoting therapeutic change or teaching therapists to be effective agents for change.

Good as a Textbook but not for the Casual Reader,
This review is from: Behavior Modification in Applied Settings (Paperback)
This was our textbook for the Psychology of Behavior Modification. While I feel it was invaluable for the classroom setting, there are better books out there to explain what exactly B-Mod is to the layman.Kazdin uses the state-of-the-art B-mod lingo. The only thing he never made clear enough was his comparisons of positive/negative reinforcement and positive/negative punishment. This section had to be clarified by our instructor, who himself said that Kazdin confused him, and our instructor is a behaviorist. The text contains many chart and graph illustrations that help you to understand the progress of the interventions explained in the text. However, I felt that there were too few intervention examples in the book, and the actual nuts-and-bolts "how-to" of a behavioral intervention were never given. Our instructor had to break that down for us. All in all, it's the best of a sad lot of B-mod texts out there, but if you aren't a psychologist or a psych student, you'll find this one a tough read.
