Behavior Modification and Normalization in Conflict? [and] Self-Injurious Behavior, Behavioristic Responses, and Social Role Valorization: A Reply to Mulick and Kedesdy.

Jacobson, John W.; Wolfensberger, Wolf

Mental Retardation, v27 n3 p179-84 Jun 1989

Two responses are presented to a paper on treatment of self-injurious behavior by J. Mulick and J. Kedesdy. The responses discuss whether conflicts exist between normalizing care practices and behavior analytic methods, and describe social role valorization as a theoretical system with extensive empirical support, grounded in social and behavioral science.
