The term behavior modification refers to the systematic analysis
and change of human behavior and the principal focus is on overt
behavior and its relationships to environmental variables. Behavior
modification can be applied in many settings, the nature of which
helps to define its subsets. Thus, applied in clinical settings,
toward clinical goals, it encompasses the subset behavior therapy.
In Behavior Therapy with Children, Volume 2, Anthony M. Graziano
focuses on behavior therapy--specifically, the behavioral treatment
of children's clinical problems. The field of behavior modification
encompasses an astonishingly wide and varied spectrum of concepts
about and approaches to education, clinical problems, social
programming, and rehabilitation efforts. A conceptually and
technologically rich medium, it has been nourished by the
psychology laboratory, the school, and the psychiatric clinic. It
is an area with diffuse boundaries surrounding a highly active
center, within which apparently solid landmarks have already been
worn away by the dissolving action of corrective
self-criticism--immeasurably aided by the catalysts stirred in by
the field's many critics. The activity continues, the dynamic field
boils, and the medium enriches itself. There appears to be a
tendency, particularly among new behavior therapists, to limit
their focus too narrowly to the client's systems of overt behavior.
In this project, psychological therapy begins with a personal,
interactive social situation in which the generally expected human
response of interest, sympathy, and support, is the minimum
condition. Graziano maintains that these clinical sensitivity
skills must be preserved in behavior therapy and enhance its
important contribution to advancing the therapeutic endeavor.
