Abstract
In this study, the pervasive influence of television (video) and the use of behavioral techniques are combined to demonstrate the viability of video therapy as a primary means of therapeutic intervention. Specially edited videotapes were designed to shape the correct grammatical and contextual use of language in a mentally retarded/schizophrenic, adolescent girl. Techniques used were self-modeling, structured rehearsal, projective rehearsal, and systematic positive reinforcement. Results from this study demonstrate the efficacy of this treatment modality.Keywords
