Behavior Change in Applied Settings, Eighth Edition

Behavior Change in Applied Settings is a clear, classroom-ready introduction to behavior change in schools, clinics, workplaces, and communities. Kazdin blends the core principles of applied behavior analysis with clear guidance on how to define, assess, evaluate, and change behavior, making this an ideal text for courses in psychology, education, counseling, and related fields. This edition sharpens the book’s relevance for today’s courses by expanding its treatment of functional behavioral assessment, broadening its coverage of assessment and data evaluation, and adding more on digital and technology-based interventions. It also keeps the text deeply usable for students, with chapter outlines, examples, exercises, a glossary, and a behavior-change project that helps connect theory to real-world application.
