Clinical Supervision in Home-Based ABA Services

  • 1st Edition
  • December 1, 2099
  • Melissa S Saunders
  • English
Clinical Supervision in Home-Based ABA Services covers services delivered in a home setting. It includes a chapter outlining how services and supervision vary across settings. An additional chapter reviews the importance of developing soft skills, interview skill, and communication skills as they relate to the dynamics found in homebased services (e.g., working with families, different cultural and diverse backgrounds of the technician and families within the home settings). This is the ultimate resource for supervising behavior analysts.In this Applied Behavior Analysis model, the supervising Behavior Analyst is expected to design individualized interventions for the patient while also ensuring the behavior technician is implementing those interventions correctly.

Understanding Individual Differences in Children

  • 1st Edition
  • November 1, 2029
  • John H. Kranzler
  • English
School professionals rely heavily on normative frames of reference for the identification and classification of children with academic or behavior problems. Understanding individual differences is necessary for optimal conceptualization and explanation of school-related difficulties, as well as for effective planning and evaluation of individualized school-based interventions. This book describes variability within a bio-ecological model of human development. The role of genetics and biological functioning is mediated by social contexts and the family environment to influence variability in different domains of psychological functioning (viz., cognitive, social-emotional, and behavioral). The book describes how individual differences interact with specific situations, leading to outcomes in educationally relevant behaviors, such as achievement, self-esteem, motivation and peer relations.

An Introduction to Forensic Psychology

  • 4th Edition
  • September 1, 2026
  • Bruce A. Arrigo + 1 more
  • English
Introduction to Forensic Psychology, Fourth Edition, adds to the strengths of the previous edition—namely, a strong introduction to forensic psychology and the criminal justice system it operates within—by focusing the discussion on the discipline’s fundamental feature: the human. The textbook has been completely restructured to explain the myriad of, at times, competing human interests that are at play in applications of forensic psychology. The edition’s broadened approach situates the clinical and empirical dimensions of forensic psychology within its foundational commitment to justice. As such, the text encourages the reader’s reflexive engagement with the material by drawing their attention to the thick conceptual grounds of forensic psychology. This new edition is updated to reflect recent theoretical and practical developments in forensic psychology; this includes research in both under- and well-developed areas of study (e.g. artificial intelligence, risk assessment). Pedagogical additions, such as the ‘cases in controversy’ inserts, emphasize the multifaceted nature of forensic psychology. While the text remains focused in the United States, international examples provide a comparator for present-day domestic practices. This book is intended for professors teaching introduction to forensic psychology, as well as for students interested in adult, child, and family forensics as they apply to both criminal and civil settings. It resituates the specialized knowledge of forensic psychology within the broader purpose of the field: justice.

Handbook of Cognitive Correlates

  • 1st Edition
  • June 1, 2026
  • Lee Ellis
  • English
There are volumes of research on intelligence, cognitive function, academic performance, and achievement in life.  Making sense of this much research is so time consuming that most researchers focus on a narrow band of interest, and ignore anomalous findings without exploring why they might be anomalous. Handbook of Cognitive Correlates consolidates this research into tabular outputs, identifying all the research that has found a correlation between the same two cognitive measures.  Table after table makes crystal clear which measures we know to be related to each other, and which measures are not related to each other.  These tables more clearly illustrate when and why there might be anomalous findings and provide a blueprint toward future research needed.
