Management of SZ

Token economy - learning through reinforcement. For Sz this is when patients are in a hospital and is about managing day to day lives, to make lives easier. All about managing Sz and not about treatment at all.

Step 1: agree on behaviors which will receive the tokens

Step 2: apply consistently and fairly to all

Step 3: increase in positive behaviors. This is motivated by the primary reinforcer (reward). Secondary reinforcer is token.

The reward giving behaviors could be:

  • Showering everyday

  • Making bed

  • Getting dressed

  • Cleaning up after themselves
