A Proposed Integration of Independent Mental Health Facilities into Behaviorally Oriented Social Training Programs
Traditional insight psychotherapy and the medical model have little relevance to mental health facilities viewed as essentially social training institutions for disturbed and disturbing persons with limited social competence. If training for community living is indeed the major function of so-called mental health facilities, it would be as well to change their name to behavioral, social training programs. An integrated four-level training program…
Behavior-Modification Training for Wives of Alcoholics
An attempt is described to train wives of alcoholics to apply to their husbands techniques of behavior modification so that family interactions threatening to the spouses' sobriety might be averted

Behavior therapy, psychology and the psychiatrist
The origins, advantages, methodology and status of behavior therapy are briefly reviewed and certain misconceptions discussed. It is suggested that behavior therapy (as part of a general experimental-clinical psychology program) is more appropriate to the training and practice of the clinical psychologist than psychodynamic and other treatment methods of the psychiatrist

Hunger, Drive and Conditioning
Unlike the present writer (Franks, 1957) Davis and Griffith (1963) found that, in accord with Spence-Hull theory, hunger increases conditionabilicy. Noting that the earlier study used eyeblink to air-puff as the conditioning vehicle whereas they employed PGR to electric shock, the discrepancy berween findings is attributed to the possibility that anxiety itself acts as a catalyst for conditioning to occur, hunger making the organism more sensitiv…
Ease of Conditioning and Spontaneous Recovery From Experimental Extinction
Thirty adult male volunteers were conditioned and extinguished in a classical eyeblink conditioning situation to the same criterion and tested 24 hours later for the pattern of spontaneous recovery (reminiscence) and re‐extinction. As predicted in terms of the decay of inhibition explanation of reminiscence phenomena, those subjects who required most reinforcements to attain the criterion of conditioning and least repetition of the conditioned st…

Hysterics and dysthymics as criterion groups in the study of introversion-extraversion
Personality Factors and Rate of Conditioning
Sixty normal male students were conditioned, using eyeblink reflex. It was found (1) that those, students who were introverted conditioned considerably better than those who were extraverted, and (2) that there was no correlation between conditioning and neuroticism. This experiment was designed primarily to provide support for an introversion‐extraversion theory of conditioning as opposed to Spence's drive theory. implications of experiment are …
