✦ Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive yet practical guide to the practice of primary care behavioral pediatrics for behavior analysts.

Practitioners of this subspecialty work collaboratively with caregivers, educators, pediatricians, and pediatric specialists to bring about success for primarily neurotypical children experiencing difficulties with everything from sleep and cooperation to attention, anxiety, and toileting. This book reviews the historical and theoretical foundations of the subspecialty and provides practical guidance for problem conceptualization, assessment, case formulation, treatment planning, science-based behavioral treatment, caregiver treatment adherence, multidisciplinary collaboration, and ethical practice.

A cornerstone for the field, Introduction to Primary Care Behavioral Pediatrics is essential for graduate students, practitioners of behavior analysis, and anyone interested in science-based pediatric behavioral healthcare.
