"Bad" Behavior (part II). I don't believe in bad behavior. Instead, let's come to see behavior within the broader context of a person's experience. Just as medicine begins to look beyond the symptoms a person's experiencing, and just treating symptoms (the old model), to understand more about the environment of the body and the psychosocial well-being of the individual (the emerging model); doing the same with behavior will shatter the old model of punishment & reward and help us see the child behind the behavior. The behavior is only the outward manifestation (the symptom) of what's happening within.
