Introductory statement
Instructions and Reinforcement in Modification of a Case of Astasia-Abasia
The effects of instructions, social reinforcement, and sex of the therapist administering reinforcement contingencies were examined in an analysis of one case of astasia-abasia. Instructions alone appeared to result in some improvement in the patient's ability to walk, but a combination of instructions and contingent verbal praise (social reinforcement) yielded the most dramatic effects. The sex of the therapist administering contingencies did no…
Measurement and Modification of Incestuous Behavior
Treatment of a 52-yr.-old male complaining of repeated incestuous behavior with his daughter is described. Objective and subjective measures of incestuous interest were devised along with ratings of normal father-daughter interaction. Covert sensitization, employing noxious scenes based on subjectively reported aversive aspects of the incestuous behavior, eliminated incestuous interest but did not de-value appropriate interaction
Interactions Between Alcoholics and Their Wives
Wives looked at their alcoholic husbands more when the discussion was related to drinking than when it was not, but the husbands tended to look more at their wives when the discussion was not related to drinking
Modification of Caloric Intake in Anorexia Nervosa
The effects of feedback, reinforcement, and increased food presentation on caloric intake were sequentially examined in an experimental single-case design with an anorexia nervosa patient. Although feedback on weight and a point-reinforcement system for weight gains led to increased consumption, augmenting the amount of food presented in combination with feedback and reinforcement resulted in the most dramatic change in caloric intake
Nightmare behavior
Instructions and Reinforcement in the Modification of a Conversion Reaction
The effects of two variables, instructions and social reinforcement, were examined sequentially in a case of a conversion reaction. Reinforcement in the form of praise resulted in an increase in S's ability to walk. When reinforcement was removed, other variables including instructions, expectancy, social reinforcement from other patients, and self-reinforcement may have contributed to unexpected improvements in walking. However, reinstitution of…
