BEHP1132: Topical v. Systemic Clinical Intervention

Time: 2 hours, 12 minutes
Credit: 2.5 Learning BACB CEs 

Presenter: T. V. Joe Layng, Ph.D.

Course Description: Approaches to clinical Intervention involve reducing a disturbing pattern (DP) or increasing a target pattern, with regimens that feature self-monitoring, feedback, reward or punishment (as one of several topical approaches). Another approach involves resolving consequential matrices or building new patterns that resolve the matrices so the DP is no longer required. This approach is considered systemic. Both the described topical and systemic approaches are presented with case studies and are not mutually exclusive.

Objectives:

• Define consequential contingency.
• Describe the consequential and alternative contingency elements in contingency packages.
• Understand contingency management and functional analysis.
• Understand constructional and pathological approaches.
• Know the four main components of a constructional intervention.
• Understand the relation between the constructional interview, case presentation guide, program worksheets, and logs.
• Explain why the recurrence of disturbing behavior may occur.
• Distinguish between linear and nonlinear contingency analysis.

Keywords: Intervention, disturbing pattern (DP), self-monitoring, topical approach, systemic approach, consequential matrix, target patterns, covert stimuli, contingency management, constructional approach, anxiety, agoraphobia, emotion
