	Behavior Modification--Chapter 1
		Behavior modification is sometimes equated with applied operant conditioning (see Chapter 7), which is just a part of behavior modification and more accurately called experimental analysis of behavior.
		Behavior modification avoids labeling and categorizing people and the use of words such as “abnormal.” Classification systems may be useful for some administrative and communication purposes and may suggest some variables to look at during assessment.
		Behavior modification is the technology of applying these principles to problems of behavior, reducing undesired behaviors and teaching desired behaviors, while continually experimentally evaluating and improving the various approaches.
