Outrageous Behavior Modification

The second edition of this unconventional handbook is a revised, expanded, and even more powerful version of the first work. Developed by school psychology practitioners, this text introduces such methods as planned confusion, disruptive word pictures, unconscious suggestion, double-bind predictions, off-the-wall interpretations, and even some straight-faced paradoxical assignments. It’s perfect for educators who have had enough behavior management theory but not enough success in managing difficult students.
Many of the methods presented are powerful and strategic in nature and are intended to effectively neutralize student resistance.

Outrageous Behavior Mod (OBM) is not intended for average kids who may be having a bad day. These methods were developed specifically for those hardcore “you can’t make me” students. It has been stated that “… the more rigid, stubborn, and defiant a student is, the better these OBM methods work!”

To help introduce the teacher to OBM practice, this book is filled with step-bystep protocols, scripts, coupons, behavior permits, stimulus cards, and wacky assignments for oppositional students.
