This paper described a Behavior Modification Training Program, emphasizing self-control, for staff working with drug addicts. The program, which is primarily geared toward the training of paraprofessionals, takes place in ten 1-1/2 hour sessions and includes an overview of behavior modification as well as instruction in techniques of relaxation, desensitization, self-image improvement, behavior analysis, behavior control, assertive training, rational thinking, and how to set up and run similar behavior modification training programs for staff and patients. Since this training began at the New Jersey Neuropsychiatric Institute in November 1971, a total of 898 staff members, mostly paraprofessionals working with addicts, alcoholics, mentally ill patients, and inmates, including 53 from our own institution, 576 persons from other facilities in New Jersey, and 269 from facilities in other states, have been trained, while 2,021 patients have been trained in similar programs. Most of this training has been accomplished by paraprofessionals. Preliminary evaluation data have been promising and the response of participants enthusiastic.
本文介绍了一个针对与吸毒者打交道的工作人员的行为修正培训项目，该项目强调自我控制。该项目主要面向辅助专业人员的培训，为期十个1.5小时的课程，内容包括行为修正概述以及放松技巧、脱敏、自我形象改善、行为分析、行为控制、自信训练、理性思维的指导，以及如何为工作人员和患者设立并开展类似的行为修正培训项目。自1971年11月该培训在新泽西神经精神病学研究所启动以来，共有898名工作人员接受了培训，其中大部分是与吸毒者、酗酒者、精神病患者和囚犯打交道的辅助专业人员，包括我们机构的53人、新泽西其他机构的576人以及其他州机构的269人，同时有2021名患者在类似项目中接受了培训。大部分培训由辅助专业人员完成。初步评估数据很有前景，参与者的反应也很积极。
