Abstract

Research is reviewed on habit reversal treatment of tics and other nervous habits, and on the components of such treatment. Awareness training and the use of a competing response are found to be its essential components. Studies which evaluate the habit reversal procedure and its variations in the treatment of stuttering are also reviewed.
