Terapia y modificación de la conducta en el grupo familiar

Abstract

A brief account of the development of Behavior Therapy is done with special emphasis on the evolution from an interest centered upon one organism to a concern for groups of organisms. An analysis is made about how the application of Behavior Therapy to the treatment of children made possible the utilization of the family as a change agent and a conceptualisation of the family as a complex system of contingencies. A revision is made of this view of the family and its applications.
