The reinforcement of incompatible behavior in both structured and natural environments was examined as a treatment paradigm for multiple tics displayed by an adolescent boy. The procedure was shown to be effective in reducing the frequency of the behavioral tics and in increasing the rate of more appropriate behaviors. The treatment program concentrated on procedures which maximized the transfer of changes occurring in the clinic to more natural environments and the utilization of nonpsychologists and behavioral change agents
