B. C. Journal of Special Education, v10 n2 p139-45 1986

The training program combined self-instruction and cue-controlled relaxation as competing responses to provocation. Tantrum behavior decreased from 3.3 per day during baseline to .89 per day at the end of treatment, and once every two weeks during follow-up. Implications for using cognitive treatments with nontraditional clients are discussed. (Author)
