Behavioral therapy
Behavioral therapy is a proven treatment for many mental conditions. Typically, it involves working with a therapist in order to identify problematic behaviors and develop strategies to deal with them. Often, these strategies will change a behavior by replacing it with a healthier alternative. There are a variety of behavioral therapies, which include operant training, classical conditioning, and aversion. Other types of behavior therapy include cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) as well as dialogical behavior therapy(DBT), and the rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT). Behavioral therapy is typically time-bound and emphasizes measurable goals to ensure that progress is made over time.
Operant conditioning, as an example is a method of teaching people to associate a stimulus with an effect. Classical conditioning teaches people, on the contrary, to connect an emotion with a specific action.
