Behaviour therapy aims to help clients acquire new coping skills or break bad habits through a collaborative process between therapist and client. It focuses on interpreting a client's behavior and applying principles of learning and conditioning to assess and address their needs. Some key concepts include classical and operant conditioning, which posit that behaviors are learned through responses to stimuli and their consequences. Therapists use techniques like reinforcement, punishment, and stimulus control to modify behaviors.
