Abstract
Presented here is a discussion of the ecobehavioral model in treating challenging behaviors of adults with psychiatric disorders and developmental disabilities. The history and definition of the term “ecobehavioral” is presented. Research, case studies, and case examples are provided to demonstrate the successful use of the ecobehavioral model in reducing challenging behaviors. Procedural variations, advantages, and limitations of an ecobehavioral approach toward treatment are discussed.
