Eileen's therapist is using a contingency contract, which is an agreement between two parties that specifies the behaviors that will be reinforced and the consequences for not meeting those behaviors. In this case, the contract specifies the methods and goals for weight loss, as well as the rewards and penalties that go along with meeting or failing to meet those goals.
