Abstract
It was decided that a study of behavior
modification with schizophrenics would perhaps prove most
profitable in ascertaining the limits or value of this therapeutic approach. If behavior modification is successful in
remission of symptoms or control of their rate of occurrence
in schizophrenics, where modification is thought to be
most difficult, then this supports behavior modification as
a technique. Successful modification of behaviors by environmental
control also may support the Skinnerian theory in
which it is based, although the lack of success would not
necessarily disprove it. Failure of behavior modification
to cause remission of symptoms in schizophrenics may be due
to the long history of differential reinforcement of the
symptoms.
