DBT Assumption 4

Extinction

Ways to decrease or stop Behaviors

  • Reduces a behavior by withholding previous reinforcement

  • We can reduce a behavior by withholding the reinforcer (our attention)

Remember to reinforce an alternate behavior!

Behavioral Burst

When you stop reinforcing a behavior, that behavior usually escalates.

It gets worse before it then fades away.

Behavioral Burst

Intermittent Reinforcement

Intermittent reinforcement

Behavior that is reinforced only occasionally is the hardest behavior to extinguish

The parent might be thinking “its just this one time”.

However, the parent now has an even bigger problem because they have reinforced the behavior

Tips for Effective use of Extinction

1. Remain neutral

4. Tell the person that you are working to extinguish the behavior

Tips for Extinction

2. Give your attention to what they should be doing

5.Reinforce alternative behaviors

3. Don't give up during behavioral burst

6. Try not to ignore small, effective requests for help

Punishment

Punishment is a consequence that a behavior by adding something negative or removing something positive.

*Remember to use sparingly*

Punishment

Caution

Punishment comes with risks and can have negative effects.

Caution

One can overdo it.

It can lead to hiding the behaviors rather that stopping them.

It can be demoralizing to kids and increase their hopelessness, depression, and anger.

It does not teach new behavior.

It does not motivate.

It may lead to self-punishment.

Effective use of Punishment

Reinforce desired behaviors to prevent undesired ones

Communicate clear rules and expectations

Pair punishment with reinforcement of a desired behavior

Effective use of Punishment

Have menu of possible punishments ready in advance

Use specific, time-limited consequences related to the offense, and follow through

Apply punishing consequences immediately

Allow natural consequences
