Summary
Sarafino presents concepts in a way that enables psychologists to analyze their own specific behaviors in terms of the factors that cause and maintain them and ways to manage those factors to improve the behaviors. The book draws on research, theory, and the author's experiences to explain and provide examples of the concepts and methods of self-management. End-of-chapter application exercises present specific questions that are arranged systematically toward the design of a self-management program. Detailed reasons, procedures, and data forms demonstrate how to do a functional assessment of a behavior they would like to change. Psychologists will also find the tools to construct a behavioral contract and perform progressive muscle relaxation.
