Abstract
The study presents a case in which aversion therapy was successfully used to eliminate a chronic cough in a 15-yr-old boy. Treatment included electric shock aversion therapy employing a response suppression shaping paradigm to remove the cough, and ancillary family treatment to alter the reinforcement pattern which maintained the inappropriate behavior. The S has been free of cough for 1 1 2 yr since treatment. Significant aspects of the case relating to the use of aversion techniques are discussed.
