Behaviorist Interventions for Problem Patients

These are general guidelines.

Principles

  1. Identify problem behaviors with the patient.
  2. Develop a tracking system with the patient. For me, as I love memorizing useless statistics AND baseball, use 0.300 as the R-, R2,or χ² value.
  3. Create an index-card or laminated full-page to track the behaviors.
  4. Use color, symbols, or dabs as in Bingo pens to track behavior changes.
  5. Use small behaviors as rewards.
  6. When the goal statistic is met for at least three (3) months, Patient can redeem for a reward and start a new one.
