Lasting Change
Methods for Enhancing Generalization of Gain

Dr. Arnold P. Goldstein and Dr. Brian K. Martens

The major thrust of this book is generalization of gain in psychotherapy. The information presented also applies to change agents and recipients of training in educational and industrial settings.

This book explores the varied history of generalization, elaborating on generalization techniques and examining obstacles to their use.
The authors describe, in user-friendly detail, procedures representing both the existing technology of generalization enhancement and a number of emerging techniques that hold promise. They also consider how the qualities of the change agent and the context of training can influence generalization.
