Retrospective chart reviews will be conducted to determine amount of anger clients felt during the BIP at Esperanza Guidance Services. Clients are required to do weekly anger journals along with homework they turn in each week during group therapy for BIP. Weekly anger journals will be analyzed to determine levels of anger each week. Anger journals ask clients to rate the physical signs and behavior signs of anger on a one to ten scale. These journals also ask clients to describe the situation and how they handled it by asking if the client took a time out, stuffed it, escalated it, or directed it. Alcohol and drug use is also discussed in the anger journal. Demographic information was also gathered (age, gender, ethnicity, and race).

Scientific evidence serves another purpose in behavior analysis. It guides the decision in the types of treatment procedures that are selected for implementation. According to Van Houten, et al. (1988), a behavior analyst has an obligation to only use methods that have been scientifically proven to be effective. This fact is key because one of the rights a client has is the right to the most effective treatments available. When the behavior analyst is able to combine the use of the scientific data and the use of scientifically proven effective treatments, they are able to accomplish the goal that they should start with for each client. A behavior analyst has been most effective in helping their clients when they are able to withdrawal themselves from the clients life altogether (Skinner, 1978).

The population that was used were individuals that were sixty-five years of age or older. These individuals were described to display restlessness, call-out, and physical aggression as their behavior. When conducting the study, the method and procedure of that were executed was the staff doing a five-day assessment of the individuals’ behavior to identify their responsive behaviors and documenting it. Then the families were asked to complete assessment to know more about the individuals’ history, likes, dislikes to better judge which item from the therapeutic activity kit was right for the individuals. And the facility had a list of items that they had and kept a record of the amount of each item that came and went. If the individual was not interested in an item, they were shown the item later. Duration of this Therapeutic Activity Kit (TAK) was for two weeks daily for the therapy and two weeks for the behavior

My behavior intervention strategy was implemented to try to reduce Billy Joe’s outbursts. These outbursts included behaviors such as loud noises, moving arms around everywhere, and getting out of his seat. Sometimes his outbursts included yelling extremely loud and running out of the room. This behavior could go on for minutes at a time and was quite distracting to other students. This behavior almost always kept Billy Joe from his learning.

Intervention: MHP discussed the importance of being responsible. MHP advised Charles to focus and pay attention in class. MHP recommended that Charles utilizes the study skills that were taught. MHP encouraged Charles to avoid confrontations with his peers. MHP discussed anger management techniques with Charles. MHP instructed Charles to always ask for help when he does not understand something. MHP advised Charles to continue applying the calming techniques when experiences feelings of anger or frustration. MHP provided positive reinforcements for improved academic performance and behavior.

This treatment approach changes a person’s maladjusted thoughts and how their emotions and behavior depend on it. This approach is mostly used for clients who are experiencing anxiety. Research states that “Rational emotive behavior therapy aims to increase an individual’s feelings of self-worth and clear the way for self-actualization by removing the false beliefs that have been stumbling blocks to personal growth” (Butcher et al., 2013, p.559). This case study did not go into why Billy was acting out in class. Billy’s irrational behavior was not noted that it was caused by any anxiety, anger, or depression. I think a further investigation is needed before attempting this approach for
