This comprehensive, respected, and up-to-date survey of contemporary behavior therapy synthesizes the clinical, research, theoretical, and ethical facets of behavior therapy. Serving as both an introduction for beginning students and as a scholarly review and resource for advanced students, CONTEMPORARY BEHAVIOR THERAPY, Sixth Edition covers all the major behavioral and cognitive therapies. The wealth of case studies illustrates the application of behavior therapy techniques to a wide array of problems and clinical populations. The text's multidisciplinary approach includes applications to diverse fields, including psychology, education, social work, nursing, and rehabilitation.

What's New

  • New Case Studies, In Theory features, photos, and figures facilitate students' learning and retention of concepts.
  • Thoroughly updated with some 600 new references after the author's review of more than 3,000 articles, chapters, and books published since 2010, this edition is truly representative of contemporary behavior therapy.
  • This edition pays even more attention to the application of behavior therapy to diverse populations. It also pays special attention to the use of behavioral intervention technology to implement and facilitate many different behavior therapies, and offers new coverage of transdiagnostic (unified protocol) behavior therapies.
  • Chapter 5 is a new chapter on behavior therapy research that includes new discussion of treatment manuals and standards for evidence-based treatment as well as expanded discussion of clinical versus statistical significant and outcome variables.
  • New or expanded coverage discusses behavioral activation, functional analytic psychotherapy, group reinforcement contingencies (Ch. 6); differential reinforcement and behavioral parent training (Ch. 8 and Ch. 9); cutting edge research on virtual reality exposure therapy (Ch. 10); imagery rehearsal therapy, cognitive processing therapy, and cognitive therapy for hallucinations and delusions (Ch. 13).
