Severe Self-Injurious Behavior: The Problem of Clinical Control
Romanczyk, Raymond G.; Goren, Elizabeth R.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 43, 5, 730-739, Oct 75

Contingent electric shock and differential reinforcement of other behavior were the primary techniques utilized. Total suppression was achieved in the laboratory setting, but extending control to the natural environment proved only moderately successful. (Author)
