Abstract

It is accepted that for reasons of economy and efficacy the behavioural approach needs to be “given away” to those in day-to-day contact with clients. These new behaviourists may need special help if they are to use their skills to best advantage but can make a valuable contribution both to their clients and to practical knowledge in the area.
