Review Quotes:
"This volume is far more than a 'how-to' manual of procedures: It includes discussions of the conceptual foundations of the science of verbal behavior, its relation to other disciplines, professional challenges, and deep analyses, not only of the elementary verbal operant classes, but of multiple control, the behavior of the listener, and emergent relations. Moreover, the extraordinary cast of participating authors includes the foremost experts in the field."
David C. Palmer, PhD, Western New England University
"This book provides an excellent overview of recent scientific research in verbal behavior with a focus on its clinical application. I cannot think of a better resource that embodies the scientist-practitioner model, and I believe both researchers and practitioners would benefit from reading it."
