Abstract
A functional analysis suggested that the bizarre vocalizations exhibited by a woman with a diagnosis of schizophrenia were maintained by attention. A treatment consisting of awareness training, competing response training, differential reinforcement of the competing response, and attention extinction was effective in reducing bizarre vocalizations. The use of self‐management based treatment components with this population and target behavior is discussed. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
