Author Details...

Andrew Salter was a psychologist and therapist of great insight who in defining a way to quickly reconstruct personality with the conditioned reflex - or reinforcing desired responses to overcome undesirable ones - began what is known as Behavior Therapy. Conditioned reflex Therapy is widely recognized as the first book on what is now known as Assertive Training. Salter’s writings influenced a whole era of behavior therapists. With great insight, his description of the inhibitory and excitatory personalities was many decades ahead of the behavior therapy movement in general and assertive training in particular. His book is still recommended reading for people wanting to become more assertive.
