Abstract

A programmable microprocessor-controlled cassette recorder/player plays messages in accordance with the programming of the microprocessor, to a client. The client either actuates the recorder/player on his or her own, or when prompted to do so by the microprocessor. The messages have a behavior-modifying thrust, and may be in the voice of the client's therapist.
