Rekers and Lovaas (1974) reported a study using reinforcement procedures aimed at modifying the behavior of a 5-yr-old who engaged in cross-gender behavior. The use of traditional sex-role concepts in forming target behaviors is criticized and androgynous behavior is suggested as an empirically based alternative. The pathological nature of the behavior that the study was designed to prevent is also questioned, as is the ability to predict sex-role behavior from a 5-yr-old child's current behavior. These issues are raised in the context of the more general question, whom should the therapist serve?
雷克尔斯和洛瓦斯(1974年)报告了一项研究,该研究采用强化程序来改变一名表现出跨性别行为的5岁儿童的行为。在形成目标行为时使用传统性别角色概念受到了批评,建议采用基于实证的双性化行为作为替代。该研究旨在预防的行为的病理性质受到质疑,从一名5岁儿童当前行为预测性别角色行为的能力也受到质疑。这些问题是在一个更普遍的问题背景下提出的:治疗师应该为谁服务?
