Results of a recent study of the sexual behavior of a group of married couples indicated that the process of completing daily self‐reports of sexual behavior induced changes in the activities measured. On the strength of these results and other reports indicating that self‐monitoring may induce behavioral change, a procedure for using self‐report questionnaires as agents of change for families in therapy was devised and clinically tested. Application of the procedure to a variety of clinical problems is described.
