Behavioral therapy
Behavioral therapy is a proven treatment for many mental conditions. It involves working with a professional to pinpoint problematic behaviors and develop strategies to address the issues. These strategies often involve changing the bad behavior to an improved one. There are many types of behavioral therapies, such as operant training, classical conditioning and aversion. Other types of behavior therapy include cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and dialogical behavior therapy(DBT), and the rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT). Behavioral therapy usually has a time limit and focuses on goals that can be measured and will aid in making progress over time.
Operant conditioning, for instance helps people associate a stimulus with the specific result. Classical conditioning teaches people, on the contrary, to link an emotion with a specific action.
