A behavior control technique is presented, consisting primarily of having a patient give up some portion of his reinforcers (usually money) with the understanding that he must behave in therapeutically prescribed ways in his natural environment to re‐earn the reinforcers. The critical features and requirements of the technique are discussed, various applications are suggested, and implications for research are drawn.
