Low self-esteem is not considered as any kind of disease, disorder or a syndrome but is often presented as a symptom in various disorders. However, low self-esteem is rarely considered as an only target of behavior modification therapy (Kendall, 1991)
g., toys, treats, privileges) for accumulating a set number of tokens (Kernis, Brown, & Brody, 2000)
) eliminates the presumably positive reinforcement so that the unacceptable behavior by the child or children can be weakened or discouraged. Theoretical Perspective of Behavior Modification Therapy According to different studies that have been conducted regarding the behavior modification therapy, the selection of treatment strategies is guided by the identification of pathogenic processes for a set of manifest problems (Persons, 1989)
Consequently, important collection of treatment is frequently excluded (Haney & Durlak, 1998). However, to a great degree, recognizing workable approaches in meta- analyses is constricted by the assessment of expansive treatment methods, instead of particular treatment methods in majority of result studies (Shirk, 2000)
