Abstract
A rationale for the use of self-control procedures in counseling is presented, along with illustrative material from several case studies. Self-control, as used here, involves specification of the behavioral deficit or desired behaviors which are lacking, and having S himself set up or program the conditions which may produce the desired behavioral modification. The procedures selected are extensions from laboratory research in operant modification of behavior, and the counseling sessions may include training S in behavior analysis, with his own behaviors as the experimental data.Keywords
