Stephanie Vaughn

Psychē, PLLC Vanderbilt University

Key Points

  1. Therapy-interfering behavior is targeted through chain analysis and solution analysis after creating operational definitions of the behavior.
  2. Creating operational definitions requires observation and a level of objectivity.
  3. It is important to maintain a balance between being ridiculously scientific in a definition of the patient’s behavior versus using nebulous judgments.
