Research Abstract

It was aimed at first to analyze the trends of the behavior therapy for the elderly with the literature of behavior therapy and gerontology. The literature was chosen in the american journal of behavior therapy and gerontology. It became clear through the literature that behavior therapy for the elderly was divided into3 categories : (1)antecedent stimulus, (2)contigency managements, (3)package treatments.
It was practiced at the reinstatement of the verbal behavior in an elderly person using behavior modification technique. The elderly person was an 87 years old woman who has been living in a nursing home for the past eight years. When she arrived at the nursing home, she was able to express herself verbally, talking with the other residents and the statf of the nursing home. However, now she could not speak and did not talk with anyone. When she expressed herself verbally, the therapist immediately gave her verbal praise and physical contact as contigency managements. After the therapy had been implemented for six months, the woman began to express herself verbally more than she had done before. Namely, it was shown from the case that the behavior modification technique should be used in the verbal training and behavior modification for the aged.
