Abstract
This study was carried out in a residential school for 46 junior boys ascertained as maladjusted. Some of the dissatisfactions with the more conventional classroom based economies are expressed and the “Levelled Economy” is put forward as an alternative model. The levelled system is described in detail and the economy evaluated over a 3-month period. The results showed a dramatic reduction of inappropriate behaviour and also a large increase in the acquisition of skills.

An international multidisciplinary journal aimed primarily at members of the helping and teaching professions. Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy features original research papers, covering both experimental and clinical work, that contribute to the theory, practice and evolution of cognitive and behaviour therapy. The journal aims to reflect and influence the continuing changes in the concepts, methodology, and techniques of behavioural and cognitive psychotherapy. A particular feature of the journal is its broad ranging scope - both in terms of topics and types of study covered. Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy encompasses most areas of human behaviour and experience, and represents many different research methods, from randomized controlled trials to detailed case studies.
