The general idea of Habit Reversal Training (HBT) is to look at habits both good
and bad that you possess, those skills that come naturally and those bad habits 
you'd like free of.

Using this information we can learn the logic of the habit, thus enabling us to
teach it and use it both consciously and unconsciously. Conscious awareness and
knowledge of what we are doing will also make bad habits, and even obsessive 
behaviours (extreme habits, really).

However, we wont really know how the mind works of course, we'll just try and 
figure out what causes it and document it in a pseudo code, the technique is 
inspired by Neural Linquistic Programming. We will capture the logic, in a 
working model that will enable us to enable conscious awareness, and thus better
modelling and control.

Exactly how this is achieved I would like us to discuss together, this page is 
very much a work in progress.. and you are of course invited to join in 
(if you dont feel comfortable just editing the page without talking some first,
try doing so in either the chatroom or this pages 'talk page' (meant for people
to discuss their thoughts).

I will always be willing to build on ideas and conceptual insights personally 
and am available in #autistichat at most times, --Memzy 18:29, 30 Mar 2005 (BST).
