Behavioral therapy (chiefly operant conditioning and desensitization' was applied to 3 cases of lrritable Bowel Syndrome, predominant gas symptom, with school maladjustment. Five therapeutic points were demonstrated by this study. (1) The common cognition that attending classes had therapeutic significance was established between the therapists and the patient. (2) The therapist, parents, and school teachers were careful not to scold patients for either being late or leaving school earlier than usual. (3) Graduation from high school, without worrying about entrance examinations for university, was established as the goal for all patients. (4) Importance was attached to attending extracurricular events after regular school hours whenever possible. (5) The therapist made a special effort to praise patients for attending classes no matter how short it was. On the basis of these five therapeutic points, sliding stimulation for going to school (desensitization) was carried out. Finally all patients were able to go to school or return to society. Through these three cases, the significance of the behavioral therapy for irritable bowel syndrome was discussed.
