With the ongoing pressures for psychologists to practice evidence-based care, and the requirement insurance carriers have both for treatment goals, measurement of outcomes, and a focus on brief therapy, functional analysis provides a framework for achieving all of the above. Having proven itself in treating behavioral problems in education, functional analysis is now being applied more broadly to behavioral and psychologial disorders.In his 1996 book (Functional Analysis in Clinical Psychology, Wiley UK), Sturmey applied the functional behavioral approach to case formulation across a wide range of psychological disorders and behaviors. Since the publication of his book, no other volume has taken an explicit behavioral approach to case formulation. The changes that have occurred over the last 10 years in behavioral case formulation have been significant and substantial. They include (a) a large expansion of the range of problems addressed, such as ADHD, (b) a range of new verbal behavior therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapies, (c) increased area of activity in the area of autism spectrum disorders; (d) many publications in how to train professionals, staff and parents in behavioral technology, and (e) new assessment instruments and procedures.- Makes theories of functional analysis accessible to a wide range of mental health professionals- Reviews behavioral assessment methods and strategies for case formulation- Offers readers a practical, organized, data-based means of understanding psychiatric conditions for intervening effectively and measuring positive change

Much of clinical psychology relies upon cognitive behavior therapy to treat clinical disorders via attempting to change thinking and feeling in order to change behavior. Functional approaches differ in that they focus on context and the environmental influence on behavior, thoughts, and feelings. This second edition of Functional Analysis in Clinical Treatment updates the material in keeping with DSM-5 and ICD-10 and provides 40% new information, including updated literature reviews, greater detail in the functional analysis/assessment sections of each chapter, two new chapters on autism spectrum disorders and chronic health problems, and examples of worked assessments, such as interview transcripts, ABC charts, and observational data.

Discusses functional analytic approaches to treat specific clinical disorders Appropriate for use with both adult and child populations Updated to reflect DSM-5 Includes two new chapters on treatment for ADHD and chronic health problems Shows more examples of worked assessments and treatment plans

In a world filled with hundreds of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) treatments, it is crucial to distinguish between evidence-based practices and ineffective and potentially harmful pseudoscientific approaches. For the former, we know what outcomes to expect, how to deliver procedures with fidelity and, ideally, costs of implementation versus benefits. Unfortunately, many treatments have not been similarly evaluated and the potential for wasted resources and direct harm to patients remains unknown. Interpreting ASD treatment research is complicated by differences in research norms across disciplines, competing theoretical underpinnings, and misleading information available from media sources. Overall, these issues contribute to a gap between the outcomes demonstrated in scientific studies and what is achieved in applied settings (e.g., schools, homes and clinics).Lifespan Treatment for Autistic Individuals guides professional practitioners in the selection of treatments that are procedurally and ethically best suited for their individual clients. As systematic reviews, authoritative statements, and new practice guidelines continue to emerge but are usually nested within specific disciplines, this meticulously curated volume bridges the gap between scientific research and practical application in the realms of psychology, education, and medicine. Chapter authors detail the application of included treatment approaches by providing a concise description, and essential elements and considerations for each option. Systematically identified treatment approaches are evaluated against EBP standards by recognized experts absent any proprietary or conflicting interests in the treatment. Within these pages, the editors offer content designed to empower a wide range of scholars, practitioners, and other stakeholders interested in enduring positive and efficient treatment outcomes for ASD.

There is a long history of behavioral approaches to psychopathology. Recent work, however, has focused instead on cognitive, psychodynamic and integrative approaches. Behavioral Case Formulation and Intervention redresses this imbalance by exploring radical behaviorism and its approach to the conceptualization, case formulation and treatment of psychopathology. Peter Sturmey describes the conceptual foundations of functional approaches to case formulation and intervention, explains the technology and application of behavioral assessment and hypothesis-driven intervention, and identifies outstanding and conceptual and practical problems within this framework.

For over a century, developmental disabilities have been associatedwith crime in prejudicial and pejorative contexts. Offenders with Developmental Disabilities provides a balanced,comprehensive review of the prevalence, nature and development ofoffending by those with intellectual disabilities. Not only doesthis volume include coverage of evidence-based assessment andtreatment ideas, strategies and plans, but also places the field ina historical, legal and ethical context. William Lindsay, John Taylor and Peter Sturmey have broughttogether a wealth of contributors from differing backgrounds toshare new material and knowledge of assessments, treatment, andservice issues in a single volume. Divided into five parts, Part Iopens with theoretical issues; Part II deals with legal andservices contexts including ethical concerns; Part III considersrisk assessment, general assessment and approaches to evaluation;Part IV addresses specific issues of sexual offending, anger andaggression, fire raising, dual diagnosis, female offenders andpersonality disorder; Part V concludes with service development,professional and research issues. Forensic practitioners and students from psychology and psychiatry,lawyers and advocates, nurses and social workers will all find thiscomprehensive and practical book an inspiration in taking thisfield forward.
