“…Hallucinatory speech (i.e., verbal responses to unobservable stimuli), delusional speech (i.e., obviously false statements), and perseverative speech (i.e., frequently repeated phrases) are common features of the psychiatric diagnosis of schizophrenia. Although traditional accounts of these behaviors posit that they are symptoms of an underlying disorder, behavior analysts view these behaviors as a class of operants that are influenced by environmental contingencies (Wong, 1996).…”

Variables responsible for the maintenance of bizarre vocalizations emitted by an adult diagnosed with schizophrenia were examined via a brief functional analysis, and results suggested that the behavior was maintained by attention. A treatment consisting of extinction and differential reinforcement of appropriate vocalizations was effective in reducing bizarre vocalizations and increasing appropriate vocalizations. The use of functional analysis methodology to examine variables that maintain problem behavior in this population is discussed.

“…A central premise of ABA is that focusing on observable behaviors provides an objective and empirically based framework for the assessment and treatment of mental disorders (Scotti et al, 1996;Wong, 1996). By concentrating on behavioral manifestations of mental disorders clinicians can obtain specific and independently verifiable measures of clients' problems.…”

The theoretical and conceptual basis for behavior analysis emerged from the fields of experimental psychology, physiology, and philosophy, effectively melding theory with scientific rigor. Behavior analysis has since expanded from controlled laboratories into applied settings, including hospitals, clinics, schools, family homes, and communities. Much of the early research in applied behavior analysis (ABA) included participants with mental health disorders and developmental disabilities. ABA research for persons with developmental disabilities is vibrant and expansive; however, there is a paucity of recent research in behavior analytic assessment and treatment for persons with mental health diagnoses. This article describes how ABA technology can advance mental health services for children and adults utilizing a multidisciplinary approach to link professionals from psychology, psychiatry, and other associated disciplines to optimize patient outcomes. Discussion focuses on historic applications of behavior analysis, opportunities, and barriers in the mental health field, and ways in which ABA can contribute to a multidisciplinary treatment approach.

“…Significant innovations in treatment have been developed by social workers in assertive community treatment (Stein & Test, 1980;Test & Stein, 2000), family psychoeducation (Anderson, 1977;Anderson, Hogarty, & Reiss, 1980;Anderson, Reiss, & Hogarty, 1986), behavioral treatment (Wong, 1996;Wong, Woolsey, & Gallegos, 1987), sociotherapy (Hogarty, Goldberg, Schooler, & Ulrich, 1974) and personal therapy (Hogarty et al, 1997).…”

This study evaluated the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral interventions in the treatment of persons with schizophrenia who experienced significant residual symptoms and impaired functioning despite their adherence to medication. The study used an aggregated AB single-system research design across 22 participants to evaluate change in clinical outcomes. Standardized measures of psychosocial functioning, severity of symptoms, attainment of treatment goals, and severity of the impact of illness on self-concept were used to assess change during the course of 18 months of treatment. Of the clients, 86% made statistically significant improvement in psychosocial functioning; 82% of the clients made statistically significant reduction in severity of psychiatric symptoms. All 22 clients exceeded the expected level of attainment of treatment goals. There was a statistically significant reduction in the negative impact of illness on sense of self. Findings support the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral interventions in schizophrenia.
