Behavioral psychotherapy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Behavioral Psychotherapy is one of two streams of thought (the other being Cognitive Psychotherapy) that have come together to produce Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Behavioral Psychotherapy has a rich tradition in research and practice. From a purely behavioral perspective, behavior therapy has shown considerable success with clients from a variety of problems. Traditional behavior therapy draws from respondent conditioning and operant conditioning to solve client problems.
