Treatment of persistent self-injurious behavior in rhesus monkeys through socialization: A preliminary report (2003)
Weed, J. L., Wagner, P. O., Byrum, R. et al.
Abstract
Six individually caged males who engaged in persistent self-injurious behavior (SIB) were vasectomized and subsequently paired with females. The incidence of SIB was markedly reduced for all male monkeys after social pairing. One male engaged in severe SIB after 32 months of pair-housing when he was temporarily removed from his partner for a procedure.
