Abstract
I would like to begin with an acknowledgment or admission. There are undoubted limitations to behavioral theory and epistemology! But behavioral therapy does offer the practitioner quite clear guidelines as to how to approach a range of children’s problems (see Herbert, 1981). with some hope of amelioration. Of particular note are the home- and school-based approaches based on theories of learning, and variously called behavior therapy, behavior modification and behavioral psychotherapy. These highly systematized theories and methods are growing in influence.
