Behavior Modification: Principles and Procedures

Rating:
Summary: Shoddy quality
Review: Although the material is detailed, if simplistic, my complaint is with the quality of construction. The cover contains the statement "Includes Tear-Out Quizzes." In actuality, every page is perforated, so you need to be careful when turning the pages to prevent ripping them out. The binding is extremely low quality - after opening the book once, several pages came loose from the spine and fell out. The pages themselves are extremely thin and wouldn't bear highlighting well - in fact, any sort of fluid ink from a pen or highlighter would bleed completely through onto the next page. If only a book with such recommended content had quality of construction as well.

Summary: Clear overview of behavior principles
Review: I read this book to deepen my knowledge in the area of behavior modification. I especially liked the succinct and clear examples and the discussion of applications and misapplications of each procedure. Thereby, one learns the strenghts and possible pitfalls of behavior principles when applying to daily life. Throughout the book, the author uses easy to understand language and urges the reader to apply the learned principles to his own self-management projects.
Very comprehensive and recommendable!
