Behavior therapists on child and adolescent psychiatric inpatient
units have played an increasing role in the treatment of a wide
range of disorders. Indeed, behavioral assessment and treatment
strategies in these settings have been applied to a diversity of
problems, including depression, mental retardation, autism, conduct
disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anorexia, and
bulimia. More recently, the heuristic value of behavioral methods
with substance abuse, pediatric pain, and child maltreatment has
been documented as well. Because of the multifaceted and complex
challenges posed by children and adoles cents who reach inpatient
units, behavioral clinicians have worked close ly with other
professionals (e. g. , psychiatrists, social workers, psychi atric
nurses) in an effort to provide broad-spectrum, comprehensive
intervention. However, as a burgeoning body of clinical research
attests, the significant contribution of behavior therapy to
successful treatment outcome is now indisputable. Yet, surprisingly
few texts have been published concerning inpa tient treatment of
children and adolescents. The few extant efforts in this area have
not covered the broad array of issues and diagnostic popula tions
treated, nor have they considered the pragmatic day-to-day diffi
culties encountered by behaviorally oriented practitioners working
in child and adolescent inpatient settings. This text is an attempt
to remedy such shortcomings by providing a comprehensive yet
practical approach to the functions of behavior therapists on
inpatient psychiatric services for children and youth.
