"Introduction to Animal Behavior and Veterinary Behavioral Medicine provides a comprehensive introduction to animal behavior concepts. The basic initial chapters cover key foundation concepts, including the relevance of behavior in veterinary medicine, normal behavioral processes and social behavior, how animals learn, and how to read and interpret their body language and indicators of intent. Building off of these concepts the latter chapters introduce readers to the clinical approach to addressing abnormal and unwanted behaviors. Readers will gain an understanding of the motivations behind these behaviors, learn how to create definitive diagnoses, management, and treatment plans, and determine how and when to utilize pharmacological intervention. Book content aligns with professional training programs for veterinary medical students and provides a guide for learning as they progress to their clinical year and enter into the practice of veterinary medicine in all of the commonly treated species. Practicing veterinarians, particularly veterinarians treating multiple species, will find value in the clinical veterinary behavior content"--
