Abstract
This paper is based on a research project using self-reparenting techniques (James, 1974, 1981, 1985, 1987) with female delinquents in prison in Mexico. The aim of the work was to prove the generalizability and usefulness of self-reparenting through demonstrating systematic replica bility. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in the teenager's behavior, and as a result of this success, the program has become part of the ongoing treatment program at the female juvenile jail in Mexico City.
