The Underlife of Behavior Modification.

Buckholdt, David R.; Gubrium, Jaber F.

American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, v50 n2 p279-90 Apr 1980

The practice of behavior modification in a residential treatment center for 60 emotionally disturbed children (6 to 14 years old) is described, based on the authors' observations over 18 months. Particular attention is given to the influence of context and situation as staff members count units of behavior, report their findings, and meet with colleagues to evaluate their data. (Author/SBH)
