abstract="This case study demonstrated the successful use of a self-cued relaxation technique in the behavioral treatment of a 14-year-old male student. Target behavior problems included: (1) non-organic abdominal pain which was resulting in frequent school absenteeism; and (2) a high rate of violent arguments between the student and his father. A multiple baseline single subject design allowed for the establishment of a functional relation between the selfcued relaxation procedure and changes in the target behaviors. Following the use of a selfcued relaxation, the student's rate of absenteeism was reduced by 92%, and the frequency of violent arguments was reduced by 79%. These gains were maintained over a 9-month follow-up period.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
