Why is termination in behavior therapy different from most other terminations of treatment?
a. Termination does not occur until the therapist is sure the client will not backslide once he or she is out of therapy.
b. It is easier for the therapist and client to agree on when it is time to terminate therapy, because the behavioral goal has been clearly defined.
c. Behavioral relationships are time-limited. The counselor and client agree on how many sessions at the outset and termination occurs during the final session.
d. When the counselor decides that the client has reached the agreed upon goal, the counselor initiates termination at the next session.
e. The counselor gradually releases the client. After weekly sessions, the client comes in every other week for two months, then once a month for two months, and then for one six month visit.
Question 2
What do behaviorists suggest regarding adjustments in reward systems?
a. Once the agreement has been made regarding the treatment plan, it is important for the client to stick to it. Adjustments do not make sense. They just interfere with the learning process.
b. Rewards need to be made more attractive over time. For instance, if a person is rewarding herself with spending money if she doesnt smoke, the amount of spending money should automatically increase
c. Rewards need adjusting when they are not working well.
d. A reward should be steadily decreased in a short amount of time so that the client does not become dependent on the reward.
