Abstract

Behavioral therapy is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing unwanted behaviors. It's based on the idea that all behaviors are learned and can therefore be unlearned. Behavioral the rapists use a variety of techniques to help people change their behavior Unwanted behaviour is defined as an undesired response to something or someone in the environment. Using this approach, a counsellor would identify the unwanted behaviour with a client and together they would work to change or adapt the behaviour.1

Classical conditioning involves forming associations between stimuli. Previously neutral stimuli are paired with a stimulus that naturally and automatically evokes a response. After repeated pairings, an association is formed and the previously neutral stimulus will come to evoke the response on its own.2

Operant conditioning, sometimes referred to as instrumental conditioning, is a method of learning that employs rewards and punishments for behavior. Operant conditioning is a type of learning in which behavior is modified by its consequences. Behaviors that are followed by positive consequences are more likely to be repeated, while behaviors that are followed by negative consequences are less likely to be repeated.7

Behavioral therapy rests on a core set of assumptions like Learned Behaviors, Focus on Present, Client Responsibility, Observable Behavior, Learning Principles andTailored Approach.
