Review:
Self Directed Behavior: Self-Modification For Personal Adjustment is an effective self-hep book that presents a workable set of skills readers can use for tackling their own self-modification programs, whether it be to improve self-confidence in dating, control overeating, implement an exercise program, or give up smoking. Self Directed Behavior teaches the basic skills necessary for a reader to modify the behavior of their own choice. And once readers have applied the principles outlined to a specific behavior, they'll find it easier to use those same skills in different settings. Of special value is the material by G. A. Marlatt on relapse prevention. Self-Directed Behavior is a valuable addition to any academic, counseling, personal, or community library self-help reference shelf. -- Midwest Book Review
