The rapid advancement in the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA) over the last several decades, is likely attributable to the success in application to supporting the needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorder/autistic individuals. Yet, the power and potential of ABA is not in application to a specific area, but to any area of social significance. Applied Behavior Analysis for Clinical, Educational, and Training Applications provides a comprehensive discussion of the applications that ABA professionals could apply their skill set to. This volume introduces the three top areas of application for ABA skills: Clinical, Educational, and Training, including pediatric psychology, juvenile correction services and applied animal behavior. Each chapter will review how behavior analysts can use their conceptual, basic, and translational training and apply it to actual practice. The aim of this book is to not only provide readers with the skills, knowledge, and experience to enter any of these fields, bult ultimately succeed.

Keynesian Behavioral Macroeconomics analyzes Keynes’s landmark contributions in behavioral economics and develops a new and fresh genre of macroeconomic analysis. It compels us to consider seriously the earlier-generation warnings about the impact of investors’ animal spirits and financiers’ liquidity-presence using cognitive-based and social psychology heuristics. Innovative in its subject matter, approach, theoretical development and policy prescriptions, this constructivist pluralist approach can contribute to important debates. This fresh look in macroeconomics can fruitfully be applied by macroeconomists, policymakers, and market participants to prevent effective demand shortages, stimulate the economy, preserve job creation, and impact redistribution, sustainability and social inclusion.In this timely book, Theodore Koutsobinas develops a synthesis of Keynes’s macroeconomic theory with contemporary developments in behavioral macroeconomics to analyze urgent real-world challenges, and he proposes successful solutions for macroeconomic policy. This volume uniquely explains how Keynes’s magnificent, crucial, but long-forgotten dynamics can be analyzed on the basis of behavioral foundations to explain amplified global finance cycles, booms and busts, and macroeconomic instability with harmful effects on incomes and jobs.
