Behavior Anaylsis, Education, and Effective Schooling
Laura D. Fredrick, Samuel M. Deitz, ...

Context Press, 1999

School reform is a critical topic in America. Politicians have education as the centerpiece of their campaign platforms and legislative agendas with a heavy emphasis on testing and accountability. Schools, school systems, and individual teachers are told to do better and to make sure their students score higher on national and state examinations. If scores improve, teachers can earn incentives; if they do not, teachers can lose their positions. ...

Introduction to Behavioral Pharmacology

3 reviews

Context Press, 2000

Drugs and Behavior
This is a superb text which goes into great detail of explaining a multitude of effects drugs have on nonhuman and human systems. I know the author, Dr. Alan Poling, as he was my professor for Behavioral Pharmacology at Western Michigan University in the fall of 2007. A must for the field of behavioral pharmacology, and I believe to be a good reference text for pharmacology and medicine as well. ...

Context Press, 2005

Invaluable

We get to follow Elisabeth, a woman who is perceived by society to be broken, as she actively chooses to commit towards leading a ...

Developing Your Company Culture: The Joy of Leadership

6 reviews
Barry Phegan

Context Press, 1995

Provides a critically needed counterpoint
As a teacher and practitioner of organization development I recently re-read this book and found it especially germane given today's acceleration of mergers, acquisitions, and pace of life in general. Work is more challenging yet less fulfilling than ever. Change sometimes seems to be expected if not immediately, then soon thereafter. The quick fix solution is sought all too often, typically ...

Talking ACT: Notes and Conversations on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

1 review

Context Press, 2007

Talking ACT: A Pleasure to read
Talking ACT is an excellent effort. I'm so glad David Chantry put the book together. Over the last few years, I've saved a lot of the best emails from the world-wide ACT list-serve, but of course, I never get around to re-reading them. But now David Chantry has gone and organized and catalogued the best of them, in Talking ACT. It's a great book to pick up, open anywhere at random, and just start ...

Rule-Governed Behavior: Cognition, Contingencies, and Instructional Control

1 review
Steven C. Hayes

Context Press, 2004

Excellent intro to underappreciated area
Rule-governed Behavior is an excellent introduction to one of the most under-appreciated areas of Applied Behavior Analysis. Ironically, RGB is one of the topic areas that best addresses the critics of ABA, and yet many within the field do not properly appreciate its importance. Some of the research conclusions have been updated recently, but this is an excellent place to begin getting grounded ...

Understanding complexity
The main paradox? Complexity vs. simplicity. The truly complex phenomena observed in organizational change are the complex results of simple principles. The book opens with a story about a wise lady, a child, and a kaleidoscope. The child peers into the kaleidoscope and sees a vivid, bright, and complex pattern. Turning the kaleidoscope again and again, she sees many different patterns. She ...

This book breaks new ground by integrating dynamical systems concepts with a contextual behavioral view of development. The two make a dramatically good fit and something new emerges from the combination: a "behavioral systems approach" to development. With its consistent, natural science, non-linear, contextual orientation, Novak has fashioned an undergraduate text that will have broad appeal for courses in developmental psychology. Topics ...
