Behavior Modification is a comprehensive, practical presentation of the principles of behavior modification and guidelines for their application. It introduces forms of behavior modification ranging from helping children learn necessary life skills, to training pets, to solving personal behavior problems. It teaches practical “how-to” skills, including discerning long-term effects; designing, implementing, and evaluating behavioral programs; interpreting behavioral episodes; observing and recording behaviors; and recognizing instances of reinforcement, extinction, and punishment. The material is presented in an engaging, readable format that assumes no prior knowledge of behavior modification or psychology. Specific cases and examples clarify issues and make the principles real. Guidelines throughout provide a ready source to use as a reference in applying the principles. Questions for Learning, an average of 25 per chapter, are included to support students in checking their knowledge of the material when preparing for tests and exams. Application Exercises are also included in most chapters to assist students in the development of the practical skills they will need to complete behavior modification projects effectively. Behavior Modification is ideal for courses in Behavior Modification, Applied Behavior Analysis, Behavior Therapy, the Psychology of Learning, and related areas; and for students and practitioners of various helping professions—such as clinical psychology, counselling, education, medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, psychiatric nursing, psychiatry, social work, speech therapy, and sport psychology—who are concerned directly with enhancing various forms of behavior development.

In anticipation of the opening of the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research lnstitut~ on the campus of the University of South Florida, an international symposium, "The First Annual H. Lee Moffitt Symposium on Cancer Biology and Therapeutics" was held in Tampa, Florida on January 20-22, 1986. In this first symposium we decided to present a broad-based series of topics dealing with the major issues in the field of cancer. These topics ranged from the biochemistry of the cancer cell to the design of antineoplastic agents, through tumor cell heterogeneity, treatment of ltuman neoplasms to immunological aspects of cancer biology and tr~atment. The speakers chosen represented individuals of international acclaim who are very active in the area of cancer research and treatment. The symposium brought together scien tists/physicians from six nations including Austria, Canada, France, Hungary, West Germany, and of course, the United States. The congeniality of the participants promoted the friendly exchange of knowledge which, it is hoped, will greatly hasten the time when successful management of human cancer will become routine. Future symposia in this series will be highly focused and will deal with a single facet of this vast field of cancer research and treatment. Joseph G. Cory, Editor Andor Szentivanyi, Editor University of South Florida, 1986 V ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This volume presents the Proceedings of the H. Lee Moffitt International Syn~osium on Cancer Biology and Therapeutics which was held in Tampa, Florida on January 20, 21, and 22, 1986.
Adoptee-A Childhood of Torment. The true story of an adopted child, abused, beaten, taunted and humiliated. Released this week, this book reveals a very different side of the Catholic Ursuline Order of Sisters and of one of the largest Cathoic churchs in the Cleveland Diocese, St. Charles Catholic Church during the 1960's. Unlike the priests of the Catholic Church, the abuse of the Ursuline Sisters was not sexual but physical, mental and verbal. The author, Joseph M. Sabol, spent the first years of his life in abusive foster homes and was eventually adopted through the Catholic Charities of Cleveland Ohio. This book delves into his search for and discovery of his biological parents. His biological mother was a victim of statutory rape, by a married 28 yr. old man, yet she refused to sign away her parental rights, forcing them to put Joseph in foster care. The constant taunting of some of the kids who lived on Dorothy Avenue in Parma, Ohio eventually caused extremely violent reactions from Joseph. His propensity for violence forced an evaluation at the Cleveland Clinic for mental illness. His adoptive parents, John and Tilly Sabol lovingly took Joseph in to their home and adopted him. The struggles of raising a severely abused child proved out to be a challenging task which the Sabols refused to give up on. Joseph's adoptive mother, Tilly, demanded accountability from the nuns who added to the already abused child to the point of a physical confrontation. The values of a good Christian family and tough discipline eventually broke the cycle of violence. Joseph went on to graduate from high school, and then Penn State University with 2 degrees in Business as well as a Graduate Degree in Medicine from the Biosystems Institue for Respiratory Therapy in Phoenix Arizona. He is Board Certified by the American Medical Society. Joseph no longer practices Respiratory Therapy but enjoyed a hobby of breeding some of the best lines of Doberman Pinschers in the world. During that time, he wrote over 100 articles for E-Zine Articles and attained Platimun Expert Author status on June 4th 2008. Joseph still lives in Parma with his wife and Doberman Pinscher.
