Functional Behavioral Assessment, Diagnosis, and Treatment

This practical book, written for clinician-educators and high-level students, creates a function-based behavioral diagnostic classification system - the first of its kind - as well as treatment protocols that fit such a diagnostic system. Heavily "practitioner-oriented," the book will address the full range of behaviors - aggression, self-injury, stereotypic behavior (repetitive body movements), tantrums, and noncompliance - with real life and hypothetical cases to help clinicians think through the variety of diagnostic and behavioral treatment options.
