2. The Behavioral Approaches
๏ฌ Behavior, Learning, Social Context
๏ฌ Peopleโs unique learning histories
๏ฌ Commonalities in rules, values, and
learning histories
๏ฌ Principles of learning
๏ฌ Behavioral consistency vs. behavioral
specificity
3. Three Main Versions
๏ฌ 1).Classical Conditioning
๏ฌ (Respondent Learning)
๏ฌ Joseph Wolpe,
๏ฌ Hans Eysenck
๏ฌ emphasize the association of
conditioned and unconditioned stimuli
4. ๏ฌ 2). Operant Conditioning
๏ฌ B.F. Skinner
๏ฌ Functional Analysis : focus on describing
and explaining functional relationships among
stimuli, responses, and consequences
๏ฌ 3). Social-Cognitive (Cognitive-Behavioral)
Theories
๏ฌ a). Albert Bandura
๏ฌ Observational Learning
๏ฌ Self-Efficacy
6. ๏ฌ b). Walter Mischel
๏ฌ Cognitive Social Learning Person
Variables(Table 2.2, p.49)
๏ฌ Competencies, Encoding Strategies and Personal
Construct, Expectancies, Subjective Value, Self-
Regulatory Systems and Plans
๏ฌ
๏ฌ c). Aron Beck
๏ฌ Cognitive Theory of Depression
8. Behavior Therapy
๏ฌ May be regarded as the attempt to apply data
from behavioral science research to the process
of behavior change for remediation and
treatment for individuals experiencing
difficulty in coping with problems of living
(Walker et al., 1981)
๏ฌ Learning-theory approach to therapy
9. Assumptions of behavioral approach
๏ฌ 1). Any behaviors are developing through
the same law of learning
๏ฌ 2).Therapy methods should be guided by the
results of research on learning
๏ฌ 3).Aimed at modifying overt, maladaptive
behaviors, as well as the cognitions, physical
changes, & emotions that accompany overt
behavior
10. ๏ฌ 4).Treatment should address clientโs current
problems by dealing with the contemporary
environmental forces, learned habits, and
cognitive factors that maintain them
๏ฌ 5). Commitment to the experimental evaluation
of treatment
๏ฌ Learning-oriented, empirical, here and now
11. The beginnings of behavior therapy
๏ฌ The term behavior therapy first appeared in a
paper (Lindsley, Skinner, & Solomon, 1953)
๏ฌ Groundwork 1920s
๏ฌ studying the role of conditioning and
learning in development of anxiety
๏ฌ Ivan Pavlov experimental neuroses
๏ฌ J.B. Watson & Rosalie Rayner(1920)
little Albert
๏ฌ Mary Cover Jones(1924)
13. ๏ฌ Martin & Pear
๏ฌ Behavior therapy Behavior modification
๏ฌ 1). Pavlovian-Hullian Skinnerian tradition
๏ฌ -Wolpean tradition
๏ฌ 2). Clinical Nonclinical
๏ฌ 3). Therapeutic setting Natural setting
๏ฌ 4). Experimental foundation Experimental foundation
๏ฌ based on clinical setting based on animal or human
๏ฌ operant research
๏ฌ 5). European tradition American tradition
14. Systematic Desensitization
๏ฌ Joseph Wolpe (1958)
๏ฌ Rationale : Reciprocal Inhibition
๏ฌ responses incompatible with anxiety
๏ฌ 1). deep muscle relaxation, 2). interpersonal
assertion, 3). sexual arousal
๏ฌ combination of 1). counter-conditioning &
2). extinction
15. Procedures of SD
๏ฌ 1). Diagnosis evaluation
๏ฌ History Taking, Behavioral Inventoryโฆ
๏ฌ 2). Hierarchy construction
๏ฌ Anxiety hierarchy (table 7.2, p.247)
๏ฌ 3). Teaching anxiety-inhibiting responses
๏ฌ Progressive relaxation training(Jacobson,
1938)
๏ฌ 4). Conducting the therapy session
๏ฌ Imagery (imagination training)
๏ฌ In vivo
16. Exposure Techniques
๏ฌ Exposed to the most anxiety-provoking
stimulus for an extended period of time
๏ฌ Rationale : Extinction
๏ฌ Implosion Therapy : Thomas
Stampfl(1957)
๏ฌ use of hypothetical construction
๏ฌ Flooding : (Polin, 1959)
๏ฌ use to objective anxiety-related stimuli
๏ฌ Combine with Response Prevention
17. Social Skills Training
๏ฌ Social skill deficits
๏ฌ Assertiveness Training
๏ฌ appropriate expression of feeling in ways
that do not infringe upon the rights of others
๏ฌ 1). Teach clients how to express themselves
appropriately
๏ฌ 2). Eliminate cognitive obstacles to clear
self-expression
18. Modeling
๏ฌ Observational Learning (Bandura, 1969)
๏ฌ 1). Attention process

๏ฌ 3). Motor production process
๏ฌ 4). Incentive & motivation process
๏ฌ Model Characteristic : similarity, high status,
be rewarded for their actions
๏ฌ Participant Modeling
19. Aversion Therapy
๏ฌA set of techniques in which painful or
unpleasant stimuli are used to decrease the
probability of unwanted behaviors
๏ฌ Rationale :
๏ฌ 1). Punishment
๏ฌ 2). Escape and Avoidance Conditioning
๏ฌ 3). Classical Conditioning
๏ฌ Debate problems
20. Contingency Management
๏ฌ Behavior modification procedures
๏ฌ Rationale : Status of Stimulus
๏ฌ present(+) removed(-)
๏ฌ Nature positive positive indirect
๏ฌ of (+) reinforcement punishment
๏ฌ Stimulus negative direct negative

contingency management to alter a variety
of behaviors
