Operant Conditioning Therapy:
Using the principles of operant
conditioning (reward and punishment), psychologists
can set up token economies with their client. Tokens (objects
with no worth) are rewarded for good behavior and can be exchanged
for something in the future. This is often a technique used with
children.
Behavioral contracting
occurs when the therapist draws up a contract specifying the responsibilities
and behavioral expectations of each party, and obliging each party
to live up to their terms of the contract. The client must follow
the instructions of the therapy and the therapist in turn will
give the client certain things.
About one in four kids have experienced mistreatment. Two additional types of abuse are emotional and neglect.
