A covert self-instructional program was used to reduce the frequency of a hospitalized chronic schizophrenic's inappropriate verbalizations, A marked reduction in the frequency of the target behavior accompanied the treatment intervention, and improved verbal behavior was directly responsible for the decision to discharge the subject from the hospital. At a 6-month follow-up, inappropriate verbalization continued at low rates, the subject remained out of the hospital, and he was employed part-time.
