“…The types of relational stimuli used varied from simple "encouragers" (Verplank, 1955) to nodding the head and saying "mmm" or "huh-uh" (Greenspoon, 1955;Haildum & Brown, 1956). Many researchers have replicated this effect (Cohen, Kalish, Thurston, & Cohen, 1954;Hildum & Brown, 1956;Rogers, 1960;Sapolsky, 1960;Salzinger & Pisioni, 1958, 1960Wilson & Verplank, 1956). Verbal statements of memories also proved susceptible to conditioning (Quay, 1959).…”

Kohlenberg, Boiling, Kanter & Parker (2002) and Hayes (2004) have argued that a third generation has occurred in behavior therapy. Hayes (2004) states the movement is characterized by several factors. These factors are, it: (a) is grounded in empirical principles; (b) has a contextual and experiential focus giving priority to function of behavior versus form; (c) emphasizes issues relevant to clinicians and clients; (d) synthesizes previous generations of behavior therapy into the present form; and (e) deals with the questions raised from other traditions. To this end, this article reviews the literature on the role of verbal conditioning in the counseling and consulting process. This literature holds the key to dealing with many challenges that currently face behavior therapists working from a constructional perspective in their attempts to construct a helping process. In a particular, verbal conditioning could hold a central role in reducing unfavorable outcomes in psychotherapy and in answering questions of recovered memories.2 Zettle (2005) describes these changes as they occurred in the evolution of Comprehensive Distancing -a second generation behavior therapy based on Skinner's account of rule governed behavior to a third generation approach to behavior therapy -Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based or relational frame theory.

“…We know that, when attempting to avert an evil aimed at themselves, people naturally tend to err in favour of themselves, probably also of their compatriots, often exaggerating the danger or downplaying the evil involved in violating the relevant prohibition. 115 We know that when push comes to shove they will preserve themselves even at the expense of committing murder or torture. We do not want them to hear that they may be pardoned for doing so, because such knowledge will encourage them to act too swiftly in their own interest or those of their countrymen at intolerable expense to others.…”

Torture and the Problem of Dirty Hands

This paper looks at the contemporary debate over investigative torture in liberal democracies besieged by terrorism, from the viewpoint of the state leader, politician, judge or individual interrogator, called upon to make life-and-death decisions. It steers away from the classic debate between utilitarians and Kantians regarding moral justification, and, following Michael Walzer presents the issue as a specific case of "the problem of dirty hands in politics". Contra Walzer, the paper suggests, among other things, that the notion of dirty hands functions not only within moral theories that include absolute prohibitions but also within consequentialist theory, and that it is therefore far wider, practically illuminating and more applicable than Walzer originally assumed. Later it addresses Alan Dershowitz’s controversial suggestion requiring judicial "torture warrants", and argues that this too should be viewed in light of the notion of dirty hands rather than within the conventional debate over justifications. Finally, it suggests that, while torture may be morally unjustifiable on anything but purely consequentialist grounds, circumstances may offer the individual decision maker an excuse, rather than a justification, for resorting to torture under very restricted conditions.

“…Hartman (1955) reported that 11 Good 1 ' was effective only when used in conjunction with a strong response preference. Cohen et al (1954) reported that "Good" was effective, regardless of pronoun preference, with normals, whereas Cohen and Cohen (1960) found that it was ineffective with schizophrenies. However, other reports (Taffel, 1955; Buss and Gerjuoy, 1958) have indicated that the use of "Good" elicited reliable modifications in the verbal behaviour of psychiatrie patients (neurotics and psychotics).…”

“…Buss and Gerjuoy (1958) The factor of habit competition has been investigated in two complementary studies (Cohen, Kalish, Thurstone and Cohen, 1954;Cohen and Cohen, 1960). In the first study (Cohen et al, 1954) The second study (Cohen and Cohen., 1960) investigated verbal conditioning in 16 schizophrenies and 16 neurotics. Significant acquisition was reported for the neurotics but no effect was shown for the schizophrenie .…”
