AKA Working With Staff When You Are Not Their Boss
An invaluable, practical guide for consulting clinicians who must impact staff performance to promote implementation of the clinician’s treatment and related recommendations without having supervisory authority over the staff. Relying on 40+ years of consulting experience, over 140 published articles in behavior analysis and human services, and the advice of clinicians who have had consistent consulting success, the author provides tried and tested strategies for affecting change in staff performance as a consultant and doing so in ways well received by staff.
