Extract

A therapeutic method (behavioural casework) based upon behaviour modification and self-help principles, is described with regard to incontinence and conduct problems, both being categories of social problems which loom large in the consciousness of clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers. Procedures as used in the clinical agency, but more particularly in the natural home setting, are detailed and the results (which are very encouraging) tabulated.
