Abstract
We evaluated the effectiveness of an abbreviated habit reversal proced ure to reduce maladaptive oral self-biting in an adolescent boy in res idential care. Treatment involved a combination of relaxation and two competing responses. Results of a withdrawal design and two posttreatm ent medical evaluations indicated that the intervention eliminated the biting and the tissue damage it caused.
