Whether or not you adhere to the philosophy of behavioral intervention, it is possible that you have used behavioral training principles with some clients in combination with other interventions. Give some examples of these circumstances. What kinds of problems seemed appropriate for this type of intervention?
What will be an ideal response?
Some examples include:
• Working with children (setting up systems of reward and punishment to extinguish certain negative behavior and elicit more socially appropriate behaviors)
• Working with parents (to help them respond to children in ways that reward desirable behaviors)
• Working with children who have developmental disabilities (who are not capable of reasoning and abstract problem solving)
• Working with people who have social skills deficits (through modeling and rehearsal they may learn to act in ways that facilitate their achievement of goals)
• Students need to elucidate how they specifically attended to principles of behavioral intervention in working with these types of clients.
