This study compared the REST (Real Economy System for Teens) program with traditional talk therapy in the treatment of oppositional defiant adolescents. The REST program uses rules for five target behaviours : room care, personal hygiene, completion of chores, abusiveness, and safety violations. Objective measures and subjective parental ratings were taken. Twenty - five adolescents wer assigned to each therapy group. In the REST program the adolescent was provided with only food and shelter. The adolescent had to earn money through the REST allowance program to pay for everything else. Earning the allowance was made contingent upon compliance with all rules for the five target behaviours. The results showed significantly greater improvement on all target behaviours for the REST program than for traditional therapy. In addition, parents of adolescents in the REST group reported that their adolescent seemed happier, more relaxed, and closer to them.
