As a graduate scholar a decade in the past, I keep in mind vividly analyzing the inaugural factor of the magazine of Behavioral drugs whilst it seemed in 1978. Its function used to be defined as "a generally conceived interdisciplinary book dedicated to fur thering our figuring out of actual wellbeing and fitness and disorder via wisdom and methods of behavioral science:' The articles in that first factor addressed such subject matters because the biofeedback remedy of neuromuscular issues, nervousness deal with ment of sort A habit, and premorbid mental elements relating to melanoma occurrence. at the moment, coursework in behavioral medication was once in its infancy at my college, and that i, in addition to many classmates, was once wanting to study extra of this "new and rising field:' pondering again to these instances, it's dazzling for one to mirror at the quick evolution of behavioral drugs and its present prestige as a scientific and clinical self-discipline. organisations akin to the Society of Behavioral medication now comprise a broad-based club that's convened yeady at an important conference. as well as the magazine of Behavioral medication, pros can avail them selves of a number of different area of expertise journals (Annals of Behavioral drugs, Behavioral drugs Abstracts, magazine of Developmental and Behavioral Pedi atrics) in addition to the varied articles on behavioral medication that seem regu larly within the scientific psychology, psychiatry, rehabilitation, and behaviour remedy literature. And behavioral drugs prone and coaching courses are encoun tered with expanding frequency inside sanatorium, clinic, and educational settings.

Similar coding schemes or modification of the Katz et al. code have since been used successfully with hematology-oncology patients (Jay, Ozolins, Elliott, & Caldwell, 1983) and pediatric burns (Kelley, Jarvie, Middlebrook, McNeer, & Drabman, 1984; Tarnowski, McGrath, Calhoun, & Drabman, 1987). , physical therapy) and noting patient responses via the use of a time sampling or interval recording procedure. ) are then collapsed to produce some type of molar response summary index such as verbal or motoric pain.
Without doubt, the use of these methods can be generalized to DD populations with perhaps minor modification. Objective direct observational coding schemes for the assessment of pain have been developed only recently. , Fordyce, 1976), pediatric examples are presented here with the belief that they may hold more potential for adaptation to DD populations. Adult measures often emphasize patient verbal responses and thus may have restricted application. , Katz, Kellerman, & Siegel, 1981; Shacham & Daut, 1981).
On the other hand, Cataldo, Russo, and 2. Behavioral Assessment 23 Freeman (1979) demonstrated a high degree of correspondence between behaviorally and electrophysiologically recorded seizures in an epileptic patient. It can be seen that it is important to obtain assessment data for each response type as different controlling variables, both environmental and/or organismic, may be identified for each response system. Of course, the relative importance of data gleaned from each response system will vary as a function of client characteristics and nature of the presenting problem(s).
