These contracts lay out a set of required or prohibited behaviors to which the patient then agrees to adhere. For example, pain management physicians who regularly utilize opioids to alleviate chronic pain might draw up a contract that dictates strict dosing guidelines and other requirements. The patient agrees to adhere to the requirements while knowing that non-adherence might result in a termination of therapy. en Wake Forest University Behavior Contracting Behavior Contracts Clinical Ethics Hateful Patients Medical Ethics Psychotherapy Manipulating Behavior: Defining the Ethical Limits of Behavioral Contracting in the Healthcare Setting Thesis King, Nancy P Davis, Arlene M McConnell, Terrance C Bioethics 2018-01-10 open.access
