Behavior/Cognitive Therapy
By: Nicole Richardson
Behavior Therapy
Behavioral therapy dates back to the 1950s and early 1960s. It concentrates on immediate behavior observation and the treatment of problematic behaviors. Behavioral therapy is used for such disorders as anxiety, those who are depressed, or those with a substance problem (Corey, 2013). One major area in behavioral therapy is called classical conditioning, which “refers to what happens prior to learning that creates a response through pairing.” (Corey, 2013, p. 248) . Another area is called operant conditioning, which is based on conduct that is affected by the outcome/ (Corey, 2013). “Behavioral therapists now use a variety of evidence-based techniques in their practices, including cognitive therapy, social skills training, relaxation training, and mindfulness strategies” (Corey, 2013, p. 247).
