Synopsis:

This practical text, written for the beginning student, combines theoretical background with case studies and numerous examples to demonstrate how to apply behavior management techniques in general and special educational settings. The jargon-free, comprehensive text examines the field from four points of view: behavioral, psychodynamic, biophysical, and environmental.
