Fundamentals of human behavior for practitioners. RAMNero Jonas, Thorneke Nilens

In the 1980s, when behavioral and cognitive therapy mixed with the methods of cognitive-behavioral therapy, cognitive models prevailing steel, and the foundations of human behavior were largely pushed into the background. Problems of cognition have become the center of conceptualization of the case and planning of the treatment method for most psychotherapists. In recent years, there has been an resumption of interest in the theory of training, and the basics of behavior gradually come to the fore in clinical practice. This is especially noticeable among various methods of behavioral therapy of the “third wave” that begin to pay attention to the problematic aspects of cognitive models. For those who have been a practicing specialist for some time, classical behaviorism may not have been the most important part of clinical education. In order to expand your understanding of the theory of training and effectively use the latest methods of psychotherapy, it is necessary to reconsider the foundations of human behavior from a practical point of view. In this book, a practitioner is proposed to a fundamental practical introduction to the foundations of modern behavioral psychology. The authors are focused both on the classical principles of training and on modern developments in this area, explaining the language and knowledge in terms of behavioral therapy. These principles are not just abstractly discussed. It describes how to apply the principles of training in a clinical context. This practical and written book in an accessible language shows clinical examples that will help use the basic principles of behavior to influence behavior in therapeutic conditions and to observe it.
