Aim of behaviour therapy
« on: June 23, 2008, 07:17:26 PM »
Behaviour therapy is aimed at changing observable and measurable human behaviour. These changes are chosen by the therapist and the client together. As this approach is aimed at behaviour change, some problems are better suited to behaviour therapy than others. The therapist is directive, give you guidelines about what to do in order to bring about such changes. This direction is guided by the therapist’s detailed assessment. The assessment considers three main areas: the factors immediately preceding the problem, the problem behaviour itself and the consequences of the behaviour.
