Behavioral therapy
Behavioral therapy is a science-based treatment for many mental illnesses. It generally involves working with a therapist in order to identify problematic behaviors and develop strategies to address these. adult add treatments involve replacing the bad behavior to an improved one. Several different kinds of behavioral therapy are available such as operant conditioning, classical conditioning and aversion therapy. Other forms of behavior therapy include cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and dialogical behavior therapy(DBT) and rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT). Behavioral therapy is often confined to a time limit and focuses on specific goals that aid in making progress over time.
Operant conditioning trains people, for instance, to associate an event with a particular result. Classical conditioning trains people, on the contrary, to link a feeling with a specific action.
