Psychological insights for behavioral change in practice
In Change Behavior, Thijs Leenman takes us through the most important conclusions from fifty years of organizational psychology, clinical psychology, and psychotherapy. These surprising insights are hardly ever applied on the work floor. Using dialogue and examples, you will learn how change behavior will make a difference in your interactions. And the book provides you with the tools you need to take steps in your own change process, making it an essential read for every change maker.
The book is also applicable for students. They can practice with their own cases, which they will meet in projects and during their internships. Each chapter has tools with which students can practice stimulating their own change behavior, and each chapter concludes with an overview of all exercises. The Dutch Institute of Psychologists has declared Change Behavior ‘a thorough reference work and workbook. A solid foundation for knowledge transfer, the elaboration of cases, or seminar exercises.’
