Résumé

A treatment milieu based on the consequation of asocial behavior must consider the agents of reinforcement. The contingencies for social reinforcement must be carefully monitored if the maintenance of cooperative inter-behaviors is to be present in the patient’s receiv­ing environment. A treatment plan is described which is designed to replace asocial aggression and competition with adaptive cooperation.
