that disorder, its functional assessment and analysis, and functional analytic-
based interventions. Finally, each chapter illustrates these concepts and inter-
vention methods with a case study, which includes functional assessment or
analysis, development of a treatment plan, and evaluation of outcome. Cindy
Anderson’s final chapter provides an overview of these chapters andidentifies
commonthemes,emergingissues,andfuturedirections.
The contributors
The contributors have made my job as editor an easy one. I selected them
because they had established track records of empirical research in functional
approaches to psychopathology and extensive professional experience in the
hopethattheywouldproduceauthoritativeoverviewsoftheirareasofexpertise
andinform practitioners of how to conceptualize andtreat psychopathology:I
wasnotdisappointed.

Preface to the Second Edition
FunctionalAnalysisinClinicalTreatment(Secondedition)summarizesand
updatestheuseandsuccessoffunctionalanalyticapproachesinthetreatmentof
psychopathology. Functional analytic approaches focus on moderating the
environmental variables that can have a large impact on the clinical problem.
Behavior analytic concepts have been popular since the 1950s and are now
regularly integrated into behavior therapy for both case formulation and treat-
mentofawiderangeofclinicalproblems.
Functional Analysis in Clinical Treatment (Second edition) begins with
an updated review of the common learning processes involved in behavior
change, and their relevance to case formulation and intervention with a wide
rangeofproblems.Subsequentchaptersreviewtheuseoffunctionalassessment
and analysis of each disorder, and intervention. Each chapter additionally in-
cludes a case study to illustrate functional assessment development of a treat-
mentplanandevaluationofoutcome.
ThesecondeditionincludesupdatedresearchandareviewofDSM5diag-
nostic criteria in every chapter. There are also new chapters on ODD, eating
disordersandchronichealthproblemsandfuturedirectionsinthefield.
Written by practitioners with extensive clinical experience and established
trackrecordsofempiricalresearch,thisrevisedbookwillbeusefultoclinicians
treatingawiderangeofdisorders.Chaptersdiscusstheuseoffunctionalanalysis
in treatment developmental disabilities and pediatric disorders, ADHD, ODD,
substance abuse, schizophrenia, mood disorders, anxiety, sexual disorders,
easting disorders, personality disorders, impulse control disorders and chronic
healthproblems.
