Applications of operant techniques in treatment and education have
proliferated in recent years. Among the various techniques, the
token economy has been particu larly popular. The token economy has
been extended to many populations included in psychiatry, clinical
psychology, education, and the mental health fields in general. Of
course, merely because a technique is applied widely does not neces
sarily argue for its efficacy. Yet, the token economy has been
extensively re searched. The main purpose of this book is to
review, elaborate, and evaluate critically research bearing on the
token economy. The book examines several features of the token
economy including the variables that contribute to its efficacy,
the accomplishments, limitations, and potential weaknesses, and
recent advances. Because the token economy literature is vast, the
book encompasses programs in diverse treatment, rehabilitation, and
educational settings across a wide range of populations and
behaviors. Within the last few years, a small number of books on
token economies have appeared. Each of these books describes a
particular token economy in one treatment, etting, details
practical problems encountered, and provides suggestions for ad
ministering the program. This focus is important but neglects the
extensive scholarly research on token economies. The present book
reviews research across diverse settings and clients. Actually,
this focus is quite relevant for implementing token economies
because the research reveals those aspects and treatment variations
that contribute to or enhance client performance."
