ANNOUNCE: New book by Abigail B. Calkin

This is a shameless plug for a newly authored book by Abigail B. Calkin, Ph.D., Performance Enhancement Training: Change your thoughts, feelings, and urges. This is the first of a projected series of books to "change your thoughts, feelings, and urges", and this title in particular focusses on "...military personnel and others with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), this book focuses on increasing positive thoughts and feelings within a person...".

This latest book is available from Behavior Research Company.

Abigail was a student of Eric Haughton and Ogden Lindsley, the major early figures in the field of Precision Teaching; her unique specialty within the field is the counting and charting of "inners", that is the covert behaviors of thoughts, feelings, and urges, with an eye to improving these "inners" and consequently a person's attitude towards him/herself and life. Her first experiment in the counting and charting of these "inners" and how doing so changed her life, is recounted in, "A Minute a Day Makes Good Feelings Grow". Since that time the study of "inners" has continued to be her particular interest.

More about Abigail, her interests, and her writing (in fiction and poetry, as well as in science) can be found at her website.

Recently Rick Kubina interviewed Abigail on his Precision Teaching Podcast program. The interview is a fascinating account of the early days of Precision Teaching as well as her own narrative of her career and interests.
