PCC-HR-3A-Behavioral Therapy

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Approach of Behavioral Therapy   Decrease maladaptive behaviors and increase adaptive ones, emphasizing current behaviors and use a scientific approach to the study and treatment of maladaptive behaviors.  
🗑
Step 1 of the Behavioral Therapy process:   1) reviewing aspects of the client's history and environment which are related to his/her problem;  
🗑
Step 2 of the Behavioral Therapy process:   2) defining the client's problem in terms of the target behavior, including the behavioral, physiological, and subjective measures used to assess the behavior;  
🗑
Step 3 of the Behavioral Therapy process:   3) defining treatment goals and alternate treatment techniques;  
🗑
Step 4 of the Behavioral Therapy process:   4) applying the treatment, periodically re-administering behavior measures to assess treatment effects and modifying treatment if necessary to achieve treatment goals  
🗑
Step 5 of the Behavioral Therapy process:   5) when treatment goals have been achieved, discussing treatment method and reults with the client to help him or her apply the treatment to others aspects of his/her life.  
🗑
Classical Conditioning - founder   Ivan Pavlov  
🗑
Pupose of Classical conditioning   Help the client unlearn previously learned connections between a specific stimulus and a maladaptive response-by providing a more adaptive response to the stimulus, or decrease the occurrence of a pleasure-producing, but maladaptive/undesirable behavior  
🗑
Counterconditioning   Is based on the premise that a maladaptive response can be reduced or eliminated by the establishment of another, usually incompatible, response. (Two incompatible behaviors cannot occur simultaneously)  
🗑
Reciprocal Inhibition (Joseph Wolpe)   used to eliminate the specific maladptive response of anxiety  
🗑
Three classical conditioning theories   1) Systematic desensitization 2) Aversive Counterconditioning; 3) Assertiveness Training  
🗑
Systematic Desensitization   In the method, reciprocal inhibition replaces an anxiety response with a relaxation response (relaxation is physiologically incompatible with anxiety).  
🗑
Aversive Counterconditioning   An unconditioned stimulus (US) which produces a noxious response (unconditioned response, or UR) is repeated paired with an undesirable behavior (conditioned simuls, or CS) Such pairing eventually leads to a CR of avoidance in the presence of the CS only  
🗑
Assertiveness Training   The goal of this method is to reduce the occurrence of anxiety (or other maladaptive response) in problematic interpersonal situations by increasing the probability assertive responses will occur.  
🗑
Operant Conditioning-founder   B.F. Skinner  
🗑
Operant Conditioning   The goal is either to increase desirable behaviors or to decrease undesirable behaviors  
🗑
Therapies based on Operant Conditioning   1) Positive Reinforcement 2) Shaping 3) Token Economy 4) Time-Out 5) Extinction 6) Premack Principle 7) Contingency Contracts  
🗑
Positive Reinforcement   ...positively reinforcing stimulus after a behavior has occurred to increase the occurrence of that behavior.  
🗑
Shaping   ..is a form of positive reinforcemnt involving reinforcing successive approximations to the desired response.  
🗑
Token Economy   ..desirable behaviors are consistently reinforced by a conditioned reinforcer (the token). The conditioned reinforcer (tokens) is eventually exchanged for a desired item("Back-up reinforcer")  
🗑
Time-Out   ...is used to decrease maladaptive bheavior. ('time-out from positive reinforcement") The individual is removed from the reinforcing environment or the environment is removed from them.  
🗑
Extinction   ...when reinforcement for a behavior is discontinued, the rate of that behavior decreases.  
🗑
Premack Principle   ...a high probability behavior is used to reinforce a low probability behavior to increase the frequency of the low probability behavior.  
🗑
Contingency Contracts   ...is a formal written agreement between two or more people which clearly defines the behaviors to be modified and the consequences following the performance of those behaviors.  
🗑
Flooding   The client is exposed to a high anxiety-arousing stimulus for a prolonged period of time, conducted in vivo or in imagination.  
🗑
Implosive Therapy   Invovles classical extinction, is always conducted in imagination and involves presenting the feared stimulus vividly enough so as to arouse high levels of anxiety  
🗑
Developer of Implosive therapy   Stampfl  
🗑
