Summary

This study looks at a common side effect of certain behavior therapies for children with severe aggression or self-injury. When starting treatment, some children may temporarily act out more—called an extinction burst. Researchers will test different therapy approaches to see which ones reduce this risk, involving 40 children aged 3 to 17.
