The views and opinions expressed by this presenter in this lecture are their own, and do not represent the views of Sheppard Pratt.

In this lecture, we will be discussing the use of punishment in school and residential treatment settings. When implemented, punishment procedures produce side effects that when improperly addressed, can teach learned helplessness, elicit intense emotional responding, and other more severe behaviors that may inhibit an individual from their schooling and obtaining coping skills. To combat this, staff training on the conceptualization of punishment, where and when punishment should be used, planning for the side effects of punishment need to be taught. Currently, there is a misunderstanding and therefore a misuse of punishment in the school and treatment settings that have led to an increase in the intensity and variety of problem behaviors from their youths. The intention of this lecture is to provide perspective and resources to staff serving these vulnerable populations.

 

Target Audience

This activity is intended for psychologists, social workers, counselors, behavior analysts, and other mental health professionals.

Learning Objectives

After this lecture, registrants will be able to:

  • Understand the necessity of the use of punishment as a tool for behavior change in the school settings and residential treatment.
  • Recognize that reinforcing procedures must be exhausted or paired responsibly with punishment measures.
  • Identify the side effects of punishment.
