This book is the first attempt to validate behavior modification
techniques in a carefully controlled experimental treatment
environment for emotionally disturbed children. Such special
settings permit carefully conducted research experiments can be
carried out. This is the first book to synthesize scientific and
clinical approaches to human behavior, indicating that behavior
modification may one day be as much an applied science as
engineering or medicine. This experimental approach introduces
scientific rigor to the clinical setting, as evidenced by precise
measurement of behavior variables, detailed specification of
treatment procedures, and the use of sophisticated experimental
designs to provide objective evaluation of the effectiveness of
treatment programs. In this approach, series of idiographic
(single-subject) case studies are conducted in a precise manner
with each patient-subject admitted to the treatment program. The
general research methodology is similar to that used in the broad
area of operant conditioning, and most work reported in the book
was conducted within a learning theory or behavior-modification
framework. Browning and Stover discuss the general problems of
developing and controlling a total therapeutic milieu, presenting
practical discussions of problems of data collection, decisions
about treatment programs to be used, staffing problems, and
documental opinion on the relative values of various treatment
techniques. Throughout attention is devoted to developing a method
for answering common questions of parent, child-care worker, and
professional. The authors conducted symposia on the material
contained in this book at various national and regional meetings
and have lectured extensively on college campuses. It is a
ground-breaking study.
