The practice of behavior therapy has changed dramatically in the thirty years since the most recent casebook devoted to behaviorally based interventions with adults was published. Adult Behavior Therapy Casebook addresses the compelling need for a new casebook on adult disorders that encompasses the developments occurring in the field over the last three decades.

After opening with a discussion of the clinical issues relevant to the design and execution of interventions with the adult client, Adult Behavior Therapy Casebook offers eighteen illuminating and consistently well-written clinical cases of a variety of DSM-IIIR disorders commonly encountered in clinical practice. These contributions, written by experts in their respective areas, detail both standard and more innovative clinical applications of behavioral approaches to adult problems.

Chapters feature a standardized format in order to facilitate cross-case comparisons, with each case containing sections on: Description of the disorder, Selection of treatment, Case identification, Course of treatment, Presenting complaints, Termination, History, Follow-up, Asessment, and Overall evaluation.

Presenting a wealth of new insights and practical guidelines, this outstanding resource will benefit researchers, clinicians, and students in behavior therapy, psychology, psychiatry, social work, and related fields.
