Behavioral Therapy

Behavioral Therapy argues that observable, maladaptive and self defeating behaviors may be modified and/or replaced by learning new more effective behaviors. This theory and therapy was created by B.F. Skinner (operant conditioning) and Joseph Wolpe (systematic desensitization).

Behavioral Therapy has been shown to be helpful in the treatment of anxiety disorders, mood disorders, substance-related disorders, eating disorders, and attention deficit disorders. Behavioral Therapy is usually combined with cognitive interventions to maximize the clinical progress of the patient (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy).
