REVIEW

"This book will undoubtedly find its way onto the desk (not the shelf!) of every clinician whose work with patients calls for application of behavioral approaches, whether for assessment, treatment, or health promotion.  The chapters are contributed by outstanding clinician-researchers who are thoroughly familiar with their subject, in many cases by virtue of having played a major role in developing the techniques being described.  The chapters are clearly written, often with case descriptions which serve to anchor for the clinician-reader the concepts being described.  Practical guides and outlines contribute much to the ease with which the principles and techniques can be applied by clinicians."
