but if behavioural psychologists and modifiers hope to have a widening influence, as they appear to want to have, on methods of helping and treatment, then they must be prepared_to do a very much better public relations job than they have done hitherto. I would urge them and I intend myself to use, when writing and communicating, much more in the way of ordinary language. Not only will this reduce the communication block but it will also constantly remind us of the meaning of what we are doing to other people. Unfortunately the use of special terms and jargon is often reinforced by the needs not of the discipline but of the group that depends on the discipline for its professional identity. This type of in-group language as an aspect of professionalism, is widely spread particularly in the social sciences and this type of communication block is by no means confined to behavioural psychology.

In order to deliver a service you have got to have customers. You have got to have permission to provide the service, and you have got to have the competence to provide the service. I want to suggest that social workers do have the clients, are gradually getting the permission, and are suitable candidates for further training in order to become competent.

A group of medical students were randomly selected from a larger group to carry out behaviour therapy under supervision. Ten patients with phobic disorders and two with obsessive-compulsive neurosis were treated, and the results, assessed by ratings of proved reliability, compared favourably with other studies in which psychiatrists or nurses acted as therapists. A questionnaire survey showed that students involved in therapy had a more favourable opinion about this kind of treatment than those receiving only theoretical instruction. The results suggested not only that medical students make good behavioural psychotherapists but also that the subject is a worthwhile training experience which warrants inclusion in the curriculum.

Cognitive behaviour modification incorporates procedures aimed at changing clients feelings and actions by modifying what they say to themselves, or think. It is assumed that such self-statements determine, to some extent, emotion and behaviour. The experiments reported sought to examine this assumption in depression, i.e., to what extent do patients feel depressed because they think depressing thoughts? Beck's cognitive theory of depression suggests disordered thinking is the primary cause of depression.

J. Marzillier
Self-control is a difficult concept for behaviourists. The implication that we are exercising control over ourselves, rather than being controlled by our environment, appears to run counter to strict behaviourist doctrine. The spectre of mind-body dualism with homunculi sitting inside our head looms large on the horizon. The concept of the self as initiator and controller of our behaviour appears to break all the rules in the behaviourist book. Self-control, in this sense, is not only ‘mentalistic’ and ‘inferential’, it is also in danger of becoming ‘explanatory fiction’. Like the man who gives up smoking because of willpower, we can only infer his willpower from the behaviour it is designed to explain. Skinner (1953) has pointed out the dangers of using inferential concepts such as willpower and self-control. He and many other ‘radical behaviourists’ have strongly argued that there is no place for these concepts in scientific psychology.
