Features: Overall, we believe the book has four distinctive characteristics: First, it emphasizes the combination of practicality and theoretical depth. Each chapter focuses on the theories and techniques of behavior modification, accompanied by specific cases or experiments to elaborate on the relevant meanings, principles, and to guide readers on the principles to observe and key points to prevent misuse during effective implementation. Second, most methods are discussed in dedicated chapters, and when explaining each method, attention is paid to its comprehensive use in conjunction with other methods in correction. It highlights both the differences among methods and the universality of principles and rules within them. Third, the book presents various correction methods by first explaining methods based on external environmental stimulus control (e.g., introducing the principles of operant and respondent conditioning), followed by methods that focus on changing individual internal subjective factors (e.g., cognitive therapy and modeling therapy). It opposes the mechanistic view that behavior modification only emphasizes external factor control, emphasizing the strategy of using various methods in combination. Fourth, the book is rich in content, thorough in reasoning, easy to understand, and accessible. It uses simple examples to illustrate principles and derives general correction principles based on implementation steps and experience summaries. Thus, it is suitable for self-study by middle and primary school teachers or parents, can be used for learning and application by clinical therapists and researchers in research institutions, and can also serve as a textbook or teaching reference for undergraduate and graduate students.
