An Evaluation of Behavioral Interrelationships in Child Behavior Therapy

  • Chapter
Handbook of Behavior Therapy in Education

Abstract

Although William James’s evocative metaphor for describing consciousness as a stream is still often quoted, the continuities of behavior that characterize everyday life seem equally noteworthy. In the early development of behavior therapy, or behavior modification, it was convenient to de-emphasize the descriptive complexity of the intermingling flow of individual repertoires, and concentrate instead on the identification of discrete behavioral events. This selective focus clearly served the field well, judging from the scientific and professional success of behavior modification. However, it imposed three conceptual restrictions on the field, all of which have become recognized in recent years.

Preparation of this chapter was supported in part by Contact 300-82-0363 from the Office of Special Education Programs, U.S. Department of Education, which was awarded to the University of Minnesota with a subcontract to Syracuse University.
