Behavioral therapy

Behavioral therapy is a tried and tested treatment for many mental conditions. It generally involves working with a therapist to identify problematic behaviors and develop strategies to deal with them. These strategies often involve changing a bad behavior with a better one. There are a variety of behavioral therapies, such as operant training, classical conditioning and aversion. Other types of behavior therapy include cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) as well as dialogical behavior therapy(DBT) and rational emotive behaviour therapy Iam Psychiatry (REBT). Behavioral therapy usually has an expiration date and is focused on goals that can be measured and will help to make progress over time.

Operant conditioning, for example helps people associate a stimulus with a specific effect. Classical conditioning is a method of teaching people, on contrary, to associate a feeling with a specific action.
