[Behavior therapeutically oriented correction of under-achievement in students].

Two methods of correction by behavior therapy of psychogenic disorders manifesting themselves in a decrease of the proficiency level of students are presented: Individual behavior guidance and a group training course. The objective of the two methods is to familiarize students with the techniques of behavior analysis, stimulus control, and self-invigoration in order to gradually develop an adequate proficiency-oriented behavior. The purpose of the training course is to enable students to acquire, under the direction of a therapist, skill in the use of effective methods of working. Various forms of verification and relaxation during breaks are used to insure successful correction of such disorders.
