A useful tool for practitioners, researchers, theorists, and advanced students, Handbook of Sexual Assault analyzes the nature and extent of the problem of sexual offending and classifies the types of offenders according to an empirically developed system.

This book developed out of the editors' longstanding interest in the retraining of traumatically brain-damaged adults and the management of their behavior by family members. A search for relevant experimental evidence to support the clinical use of behavioral principles for retrain­ ing, which began in 1977, turned up little empirical support. Moreover, the literature on retraining was dispersed among a variety of journals published in various countries. Nowhere was there a compendium of literature that addressed issues of assessment and retraining. There was no place to turn if one wanted to move from a standard neuropsy­ chological evaluation to the retraining of skill deficits revealed in the evaluation. We have attempted to edit a book that represents what we had hoped to find in the literature and could be used by professionals in clinical psychology, clinical neuropsychology, rehabilitation medicine, physical therapy, speech therapy, and other disciplines that address rehabilitation of brain-damaged adults-a book that addresses assess­ ment and rehabilitation issues and is sufficiently detailed to offer the reader a starting point in developing behavioral assessment and re­ habilitation programs. The book contains conceptual foundations, re­ views of research, descriptions of successful rehabilitation programs, and relatively detailed approaches to the retraining of specific skills. A shift from an assessment-based practice to one encompassing both prescriptive assessment and treatment has become a recognized transition in the neuropsychological literature and was best articulated in an article by Gerald Goldstein in March of 1979.

During the past ten years, the problem of child abuse has been the subject of increased attention both in the professional community and among the general public.

The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with a survey of some of the major areas of clinical psychology. For some years I have felt the need for a book that provides students with more of a historical introduction and context from which to view current clinical psychology than is included in most textbooks.

This volume, the first to specifically address the function of psychologists as practitioners and scientists in medical settings, presents a range of approaches to assessment and diagnostic practice rather than a litany of specific tools, diseases, or diagnostic problems.

An important feature of the approach to the study of behavior that he championed, behavior analysis, is the intensive study of individual subjects over time. Introductory-level books devoted entirely to methods of applied behavior analysis (e.g., Kazdin, 1982;

The purpose of this volume is to present a critical evaluation of this field of inquiry through a detailed assessment of the theoretical perspectives, the methodological issues, and the substantive findings that have characterized family studies of psychopathology during the past several decades.

One of the most important practical problems in child psychology and psychia try is the differential diagnosis of emotional disorders. Understandably, this approach was controversial, and dissat isfaction with it led to the more recent knowledge that adult and child problems may be manifested quite differently.

It is well known that behavior problems are a salient characteristic of children and adults with mental retardation. It is equally well known that the principal form of treatment accorded clients with mental retardation and behavior disorders is pharmacotherapy or the prescrip tion of behavior modifying drugs.

The last two decades have seen unprecedented increases in health care costs and, at the same time, encouraging progress in psychotherapy research.

A host of special methodological issues arise in any discussion of research on human behavior. The text evaluates specific strategies and techniques used in laboratory settings, including - reinforcement and punishment - stimulus control - behavioral pharmacology - and methodologies concerning verbal and social behavior, among others.

Details the psychodynamically-oriented inpatient treatment of 90 young adults suffering from severe mental illness. This book documents the nuances of changing troubled behavior, describes behaviors which predict future positive behavioral change, and provides a sophisticated technique to document change.

Following the publication of the Handbook of the Brief Psychotherapies (Wells & Giannetti, 1990), the editors began to conceptualize the idea of a collection of case studies encompassing a number of the commonly en countered clinical problems that have been treated with such ap proaches.
