“…A behavioral account of the experience of self is particularly useful given recent behavioral forays into the field of adult outpatient psychotherapy. Nelson-Gray, Gaynor, and Korotitsch (1997) noted a growing interest in new behavioral treatments for adult outpatient psychotherapy such as functional analytic psychotherapy (Kohlenberg & Tsai, 1991) and acceptance and commitment therapy (Hayes, Strosahl, & Wilson, 1999; Hayes & Wilson, 1994). These treatments target difficult-to-treat patients and patients with problems that traditionally have been defined as personality disorders, for whom problems of the self are ubiquitous.…”

We present a clinical model of the development of self. The model focuses on the early learning responsible for linguistic self-referents such as "I" and "me." This model offers an account for why some patients, such as those with borderline personality disorder (BPD), feel that they "do not know who they are" or that their sense of self is controlled by other people, while other patients have a sense of a secure, stable self that is not prey to the whims of others. We administered a new self-report instrument, the Experiencing of Self Scale, which measures the degree to which other people influence the experience of self, along with the Self-Esteem Scale and the Dissociative Experiences Scale to 284 undergraduate students and 14 BPD patients. We found that the degree to which other people influence the experience of self depended on the nature and closeness of the people involved, that those in our BPD sample suffered from excessive influence of other people over the experience of self relative to the undergraduates, and that the degree of influence correlated

“…Indeed few proponents of behavior modification might even agree that this level of concept would be useful” (1983, p. 86). Parenthetically, as behavior therapy has grown more mainstream in the history of clinical psychology, more and more behaviorists have been involved in the study of psychopathology, and hence have shown more agreement with the notion of disorders (Nelson-Gray, Gaynor, & Korotitsch, 1997). A fourth level of conceptualization is disease.…”

The current review is an account of the development and maintenance of personality disorders as defined in the DSM-IV-TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4 th edition, Text Revision, American Psychiatric Association, 2000) from a behavior analytic perspective. A thesis of this paper is that behavior is a result of a complex biological-environmental interaction. Complex behavioral repertoires that come to be regarded as personality characteristics are the result of evolutionary, learning, and cultural histories. Following a review of our model and how it is maintained by these histories, we provide two examples of avoidant and borderline personality disorders to illustrate our approach that attempts to describe the development and maintenance of personality disorders.

“…The climate of managed care also demands high-quality assessment that can enhance formulation of effective intervention as well as sensitive measures that can detect changes in the behaviors of interest. Behavior therapists, applying principles from basic behavioral research, have been instrumental in shaping the standards for defining efficacious treatments (Nelson-Gray, Gaynor, & Korotitsch, 1997). Behavior therapists, relying on continued research in behavioral assessment methods, including self-monitoring, could similarly be instrumental in defining the standards for measuring treatment effects.…”

Although widely utilized within clinical assessment, self-monitoring has received little direct research attention since the early 1980s. The assessment and treatment functions of self-monitoring are described and illustrated in this article. As an assessment method, self-monitoring can provide valuable information for diagnosis, target behavior selection, functional assessment, and treatment monitoring. Research findings delineating variables known to influence the accuracy and reactivity associated with selfmonitoring are reviewed. Some suggestions are made for additional research that might be conducted regarding self-monitoring accuracy, effects on clients, and utility within treatment.
