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.

Digital Technologies in Behavior Science is the first book of its kind to highlight innovative and cutting-edge work in the theory and application of digital technologies in behavior science.Bringing together the work of experts in the field, this edited book showcases current and future trends in the use of digital technologies in the behavioral sciences. The chapters outline the important historical, theoretical, and conceptual background for this timely field, looking at practical applications in varied settings. The book is divided into five sections and explores history and systems in behavior science, machine learning and artificial intelligence, the process and research, digital platforms, and health and human applications.This timely book will be essential reading for graduate and advanced undergraduate students of behavioral science, behavior analysis, and psychology. It will also be highly relevant for professional behavior analysts and all those interested in the future of behavior science.

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.
