Yes. Doing shoulder presses behind the neck hits all three delts equally, whereas to the front tends to hit the front delt harder. To the back is, therefore, a better exercise.
HOWEVER, due to the stress it places on the shoulders and the risk of injury, i still do not recommend it. What use is a better exercise if you're going the spend half the time in recovery...
As Michael says, some people
can do the exercise to the back without any problems at all, but I don't agree with trying it to see if it works for you. That's a bit like saying "I'll try it to the back, and if I tear my shoulder muscle, I'll stop." Is it worth the risk to you?
I know some people (and some books) disagree with me, and say you should do them to the back, simply because it is the better exercise. This is just my opinion, and, unlike those books, I will sacrifice some results for my health.
