Study Notes
Behavior Therapy Overview
- Behavior therapy is grounded in the principle that behavior is learned.
- Emphasizes specific behaviors, clear treatment goals, tailored treatment plans, and objective result assessments.
A-B-C Model
- A-B-C Model analyzes behaviors by identifying conditions that maintain them and recognizing cues that trigger them.
Main Goals of Behavior Therapy
- Aims to eliminate maladaptive learning, fostering more effective learning processes.
Third Wave of Behavior Therapy
- Interventions not associated with the third wave include relaxation training.
Social Skills Training
- Focuses on interpersonal growth using modeling, reinforcement, and role-playing to practice social situations.
Anxiety Reduction Techniques
- Systematic Desensitization involves creating a hierarchy of fears to gradually reduce anxiety responses.
Behavior Therapy Techniques
- Must align with client issues, supported by empirical evidence, and may integrate mindfulness and acceptance strategies.
Applications of Behavior Therapy
