Adipsia is an uncommon, life-threatening condition which refers to an absence of thirst or an abnormal avoidance of fluid consumption. A behavioral intervention was successfully used in the treatment of severe adipsia in a multi-handicapped adolescent whose water intake was almost entirely limited to the water content of the foods he consumed. Using edible reinforcement and a set of commercial measuring utensils (from 1/4 teaspoon to 1 cup), milk consumption was established through a behavior shaping regimen. Follow-up results over 1 year indicated that the behavioral progress was maintained, problems with dehydration were eliminated, and stimulus generalization to several other fluids occurred.
无渴感是一种罕见的、危及生命的状况，指的是没有口渴感或异常地避免饮水。一种行为干预方法成功地用于治疗一名多重残疾青少年的严重无渴感，该青少年的水摄入量几乎完全局限于他所食用食物中的含水量。通过使用可食用强化物和一套商用量具（从1/4茶匙到1杯），通过行为塑造方案建立了牛奶饮用习惯。超过1年的随访结果表明，行为进展得以维持，脱水问题得以消除，并且对其他几种液体产生了刺激泛化。
