✦ Synopsis


A 28-year-old head-injured female displayed a great deal of impatience and agitation. She would elope (run away) whenever she became agitated. A simple three-step stress management program was taught to her to increase her self-control. It included: (a) identification of a stressful state; (b) removal of herself from that environment; and (c) self-initiation of relaxation. This procedure resulted in immediate decreases in elopements.
