UNASSIGNED: Medication has proved highly efficacious as a means of alleviating general symptoms of @entity71 ( @entity71 ). However, many @entity1 remain functionally impaired by @entity146 . The present study analyzed the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with the Token-Economy (TE) technique to alleviate @entity146 for 25 @entity1 with @entity71 , all @entity1 (19 @entity1 , mean age 10.11) on long-term @entity2727 medication, who were given 20 CBT sessions with 10   weeks of TE introduced as of session 5. Their ten most acute problem behaviors were selected and written records kept. On weekdays, parents recorded each @entity146 and provided a suitable model for their actions. At weekly sessions, problem behaviors were counted and incident-free @entity1 rewarded with a token. To analyze improvement (less frequent @entity146 ), a list of 11 behavioral categories was rated: inattention, impulsivity, @entity2915 , disorganization, disobeying rules and routines, poor self-care, verbal/physical aggression, @entity258 , @entity146 , @entity146 , lacking in initiative and distraction. Two CBT specialists categorized behaviors and an @entity71 specialist ruled on discrepancies. Statistical analyses used were Generalized Estimating Equations with Poisson distribution and autoregressive order correlation structure. In the course of the sessions, problematic behaviors decreased significantly in seven categories: @entity23 , @entity2915 , disorganization, disobeying rules and routine, poor self-care, @entity258 , @entity146 , and @entity146 . Caregiver attitudes to @entity1 's @entity146 were discussed and reshaped. As functional improvement was observed on applying TE for 10   weeks, this type of intervention may be useful as an auxiliary strategy combined with medication.
