Nonlinear Contingency Analysis is a guide to treating clinically complex behavior problems such as delusions and hallucinations. It’s also a framework for treating behavior problems, one that explores solutions based on the creation of new or alternative consequential contingencies rather than the elimination or deceleration of old or problematic thoughts, feelings, or behaviors. Chapters present strategies, analytical tools, and interventions that clinicians can use in session to think about clients’ problems using decision theory, experimental analysis of behavior, and clinical research and practice.By treating thoughts and emotions not as causes of behavior but as indicators of the environmental conditions that are responsible for them, patients can use that knowledge to make changes that not only result in changes in behavior, but in the thoughts and feelings themselves.

The groundbreaking second edition of Nonlinear Contingency Analysis gives practitioners a powerful framework for understanding and shaping behavior without coercion.Nonlinear contingency analysis (NCA) builds on Israel Goldiamond’s classic work, offering a systematic method for analyzing how multiple contingencies interact. Rather than eliminating behavior, NCA equips one to construct new repertoires and expand options for clients, students, and communities.Inside, you’ll find:Current applications with autistic children and their families.An expanded treatment of emotion in clinical practice.An introduction to constructional exposure therapy (CET).A new chapter on genuine consent, assent, and degrees of freedom for verbal and nonverbal individuals and even animals.With updated models, real-world case studies, and expanded applications, this edition is more than theory: it’s a practical guide to ethical, socially meaningful, and freedom-enhancing practice.

The second edition of Nonlinear Contingency Analysis gives professionals a powerful framework for understanding complex behavior, and this companion volume shows clinicians exactly what happens when that framework is applied to children, families, adults, and animals facing challenging circumstances.Case Studies and Applications in Nonlinear Contingency Analysis provides vivid examples and step-by-step case analyses that you can adapt to your own practice. Every case shows how constructional, non-coercive interventions succeed where eliminative models fail. These aren’t abstract theories—they’re replicable roadmaps for transforming behavior across clinical, educational, organizational, and animal settings.Whether you work in mental health, education, behavior analysis, or animal training, Case Studies and Applications in Nonlinear Contingency Analysis shows how constructional, freedom-expanding interventions can transform lives. If you want to see how nonlinear contingency analysis works in practice—and how to use it yourself—this is the book you need by your side.
