Festschrift. Papers in Honor of Roland G. Tharp.
O'Donnell, C. R., & Yamauchi, L. A. (Eds.) (2005). Culture and context in human behavior change: Theory, research, and applications. NY: Peter Lang.

Known and appreciated for theory and research over 40 years on changing behavior in family therapy, behavior therapy and modification, community interventions, teacher development, and educational interventions designed to reduce the achievement gap in disadvantaged communities, Roland Tharp’s primary interest has been the development of principles of behavior change and the testing of their validity in realistic applications and settings. The purpose of this book is to examine current theory, research and applications in initiating and maintaining behavior change across many of the fields in which Tharp has worked.
