Abstract
A number of experiments have demonstrated the possibility of changing the bizarre behaviour of “psychotic” children through operant conditioning and building up a repertoire of simple and basic self-help, social and sometimes even language skills (cf. LOVAAS, 1967, 1971). Our interest in behaviour therapy with schizophrenic and autistic children has centred around programs of language acquisition. In addition, the elimination of undesirable behaviour and the development of social skills have been attempted in a number of children.
