Abstract: A discussion of behavior therapy and behavior modification argues that behavioral techniques can provide a comprehensive approach to general health care. Illness, injury and their treatment can create problems that exceed a person's ability to cope. Lack of attention to environmental, behavioral and social aspects of health problems may result in poor treatment outcome. Major behavioral treatment topics include: the experimental foundations; application to health care problems; and use as preventive treatment in preparation for medical procedures. Other topics include: engaging the patient in treatment; increasing compliance; promoting lifestyle changes; and the management of anorexia nervosa. (ds).

There have been huge advances in our ability to diagnose autism and in the development of effective interventions that can change children’s lives. In this extraordinary book, Lynn Kern Koegel, a leading clinician, researcher, and cofounder of the renowned Autism Research Center at the University of California at Santa Barbara, combines her cutting-edge expertise with the everyday perspectives of Claire LaZebnik, a writer whose experience with a son with autism provides a rare window into the disorder. Together, they draw on the highly effective “pivotal response” approach developed at the center to provide concrete ways of improving the symptoms of autism and the emotional struggles that surround it, while reminding readers never to lose sight of the humor that lurks in the disability’s quirkiness or the importance of enjoying your child. From the shock of diagnosis to the step-by-step work with verbal communication, social interaction, self-stimulation, meltdowns, fears, and more, the answers are here-in a book that is as warm and nurturing as it is authoritative.
