Reviews:
  • The rarely presented interbehavioral approach to theraphy adds to the radical behavioral approach an emphasis on context and interrelatedness. This is a valuable framework for complex behavior analyses. The anthology covers the foundations of this approach and then discusses applications to current issues ranging from individual therapy through training and community-based programs to implications for public policy. Although it lacks a definition for `interbehavior' and assumes reader familiarity with psychological jargon, the characteristics of the approach are explained clearly and are reiterated in most of the individual chapters. The chapters on psychopathology and Q methodology are sufficiently theoretical that they are not likely to be useful to undergraduates; however, chapters that deal with families, parent training, assertiveness teaching, and risk factor management are likely to provide advanced undergraduates with a new perspective on topics of practical interest.

Description: According to the editors of New Ideas in Therapy, cognitive behaviorist theory is increasingly hampered by intrinsic theoretical limitations. A promising alternative and the subject of this book is interbehaviorism--a theory introduced by the late J.R. Kantor that looks at clinical events in terms of multiple causes and relationships operating within a integrated field or system. Written by a distinguished group of researchers and practitioners who have expanded upon Kantor's work, this study presents a new account of therapy that demonstrates, for the first time, how his field theory can be applied in modern clinical practice.
