abstract="This case study illustrates an empirical approach to the diagnosis, treatment, and controlled follow-up of self-injurious clients. Following an assessment period, during which environmental factors associated with a severely retarded adolescent's self-injury were identified, the contingent application of protective equipment was combined with a differential reinforcement procedure (DRO) and implemented in a multiple baseline design across two hospital settings. Results showed a marked decrease in the rate of self-injury. Upon discharge from the hospital, the program was successfully replicated at the adolescent's residential center, again using a multiple baseline design across settings.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
