The pediatrician is the professional most frequently sought out for advice concerning disciplinary problems with children in the home. Behavioral psychologists have advocated the use of contingent ignoring and time-out procedures to help reduce problem behaviors; however, practicing pediatricians have found that these two procedures are often not successful. In fact, sometimes the two procedures seem to exacerbate inappropriate behavior. This paper documents the difficulties found in using the ignoring and/or time-out procedures in the home setting. Potential pitfalls in the use of ignoring, including not specifying the target behavior, not taking a baseline, inadvertently, intermittently reinforcing the inappropriate behavior, response bursts, spontaneous recovery, and not reinforcing an appropriate alternative behavior, are described. In addition, several pitfalls in the use of the time-out procedure, including selection of isolation area, inappropriate selection of time intervals, interference from others in the family, and escape attempts on the part of the child are discussed. For each potential problem a remedy is suggested.

Inappropriate Behavior

This chapter reveals that women have few ways of holding people accountable for inappropriate behavior, arbitrary exercises of power, and retaliation for reporting incidents on campaigns. In this context, women often avoid or ignore issues in the workplace. Women argued that campaign human resources departments often lack the time, staff, and resources to provide policies, structure, and aid to staff. As a result, women who find themselves on the receiving end of a toxic work environment due to a colleague’s harassment or misconduct—implicit or explicit—frequently fail to report these incidents. If they consider reporting, they fear potential repercussions and retaliation. Without accountability in the campaign workplace, women tend to avoid and ignore the issues facing them in order to keep the mission of the campaign on track, which often outweighs the desire to shake the system up and create more equity in the workplace.

INTRODUCTION: Acute manic episodes are a psychiatric emergency related to violence and poor patient outcomes. Combination psychotropic therapy utilizing a mood stabilizer and an atypical antipsychotic has been shown to be more efficacious for treating acute mania compared to monotherapy with either mood stabilizers or antipsychotics alone. This quality improvement project implemented evidence-based interventions for treating acute mania. The mania pathway protocol was created as a comprehensive clinical guide for guiding mania treatment. The protocol was implemented on an inpatient psychiatric unit for patients with mania diagnoses including manic/mixed episodes of bipolar disorder or schizoaffective disorder. AIMS: (1) to improve the treatment of mania by using evidence-based interventions for rapid mood stabilization and (2) to educate psychiatric providers on up-to-date interventions for treating acute manic states. METHOD: Psychiatric providers were evaluated for knowledge enhancement through a pre-/post–educational session quiz. A retrospective chart review was used for data collection for patients treated with the mania pathway protocol. The retrospective chart review spanned 8 weeks post project implementation. Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) scores were analyzed to measure the effect on mania severity. RESULTS: The percentage decrease in mean Young Mania Rating Scale scores from admission to the fifth day of hospitalization was 61%. All psychiatric providers proved knowledge attainment by scoring 100% on the postintervention quiz. CONCLUSIONS: Rapid mood stabilization may be achieved by using a combination therapy–based mania protocol. Educational sessions can enhance psychiatric provider knowledge with regard to evidence-based treatments for mania.

This study was designed to answer a question posed by Epstein, Doke, Sajwaj, Sorell, and Rimmer (1974) concerning whether an overcorrection technique administered to one inappropriate behavior will also suppress other untreated inappropriate responses. In addition, it examined another often-overlooked question, that is, whether the effects of treatment generalize over situations. The effects of a positive reinforcement and a hand overcorrection training package upon the play and self-stimulatory responses of a 14 year old profoundly retarded boy were examined In three different types of play situations. The design allowed both stimulus and response generalization effects to be assessed. Results indicated that the training procedures increased play behavior and decreased three different self-stimulatory responses. Although there was some evidence that both situational and response generalization effects occurred, these effects were not sufficient to preclude the need for further treatment.
