Behavioral therapy
Behavioral therapy has been proven to be a successful treatment for a variety of mental disorders. It involves working with a professional to identify problematic behavior and develop strategies to address the issues. The majority of the time, these strategies require changing a behavior and replacing it with a healthier alternative. There are a variety of types of behavioral therapy are available such as operant conditioning, classical conditioning and aversion therapy. Other kinds of behavior therapy include cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and dialogical behavior therapy(DBT), and the rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT). Behavioral therapy is often confined to limitations on time and focuses on goals that can be measured and will assist in achieving progress over time.
Operant conditioning helps people, for example to link a stimulus and a specific result. Classical conditioning teaches people, on the contrary, to link an emotion with a specific action.
