Fundamentals of Human Behavior for Practicing Professionals

Many practicing professionals providing psychiatric assistance have not been well trained in the analysis of human behavior. Licensed psychologist Jonas Ramnero and Doctor of Medicine Niklas Thorneke have written a book that will serve several important groups of specialists. People whose behavioral training was long ago or was weak or not very well integrated with clinical work, as well as those who have no behavioral training at all, will find in this book a non-technical approach to functional contextual understanding of behavior. And for students interested in behavioral therapy, this book will be an excellent starting point for understanding the essence of behavior analysis. The authors combine here advanced discussions on learning theory and behavioral analysis with specific informative examples. The book also addresses the latest theoretical developments in the field of human language and thought. This book will be useful for both novice and experienced therapists.
