Behavioral therapy
Behavioral therapy is a scientifically-based treatment for a variety of mental conditions. Generally, it involves working with a therapist to identify problematic behaviors and develop strategies to deal with the issues. These strategies often involve changing the bad behavior to the new one. Different types of behavioral therapy are available such as operant conditioning, classical conditioning and Aversion therapy. Other types of behavior therapy include cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and dialogical behavior therapy(DBT) and rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT). Behavioral therapy is usually time-bound and emphasizes measurable goals to drive progress over time.
Operant conditioning, for instance helps people connect a stimulus to a specific effect. Classical conditioning teaches people, on the contrary, to associate an emotion with a specific action.
