Who am I?
A treatment approach based on the theoretical foundations of Classical and Operant Conditioning, and on the application of newly learned skills to better cope with life’s challenges |
behavior therapy
|
|
|
what is radical behaviorism?
|
human behavior is exclusively a result of environmental influences
|
|
|
What are contemporary behavior therapies?
|
incorporates more of a cognitive influence which gives patients more control over their personal outcome
|
|
|
the following are the basic assumptions of what?
Principles of learning form basis of treatment approach. Objective methods are used for assessment, monitoring of outcome, and revising treatment Focus is on here and now, not on past explanations Proactive and explicit effort to change is expected of patients Education and rehearsal to develop skills is emphasized Treatment is tailored for each patients individual case |
behavior therapy
|
|
|
What is a key component of behavior therapy?
|
modeling
|
|
|
what is expected to follow behavior therapy treatment?
|
Development of new armamentarium of alternative behaviors/skills to use to face life’s difficulties is expected following treatment
|
|
|
Classical conditioning... techniques based on counter-conditioning....
What is systematic Desensitization? |
- Joseph Wolpe
- involves the repeated presentation of mildly anxious material while in a relaxed state until anxiety is eliminated via overexposure Steps: - relaxation training - develop a hierarchy of anxiety-provoking stimuli - use desensitization technique via imagination - proceed to “in vivo” confrontation |
|
|
Classical conditioning... techniques based on classical extinction...
what is flooding? |
- exposing person to anxiety-provoking stimuli while
preventing an avoidance response - relaxation is unnecessary since extinction is mechanism of change - known to have paradoxical effect at times |
|
|
Classical conditioning... techniques based on classical extinction...
What is implosive therapy? |
- involves imaginal exposure to feared stimuli
- known to incorporate symbolic psychoanalytic components into exposure exercises |
|
|
Classical conditioning... techniques based on aversive conditioning...
what is in-vivo aversive conditioning? |
- pairing toxic stimulus with behavior targeted for
elimination. (e.g., Antabuse) - Ethical considerations in use required (last resort) - Substance Dependence, Paraphilias, Self-injury Bx |
|
|
Classical conditioning... techniques based on aversive conditioning...
what is covert sensitization? |
- Aversive conditioning occurring via imagination
- Involved pairing unpleasant mental images with target bx. |
|
|
Operant conditioning... techniques based on reinforcement...
what is shaping? |
- a method of successive approximation
- involves rewarding small incremental successes achieved by the individual as they approach the targeted behavioral goal |
|
|
Operant conditioning... techniques based on reinforcement...
what is premack principle? |
- the use of high probability behavior with low
probability behavior in an effort to increase frequency of desired targeted behavior e.g. “gradma’s rule” - work then play |
|
|
operant conditioning... techniques based on punishment and extinction...
what is time out? |
separating an individual from access to potentially
available reinforcement for a short period of time |
|
|
operant conditioning... techniques based on punishment and extinction...
what is overcorrection? |
involves correction of negative bx and repeated
exaggerated practice of alt. positive replacing bx. |
|
|
operant conditioning... techniques based on punishment and extinction...
what is response cost? |
a form of negative punishment involving the
removal of a pre-specified reward each time an undesired bx is performed. (most effective) |
|
|
operant conditioning... techniques based on contingency management
what is token economy? |
developing an elaborate system based on the use
of a token that carries value and thus can be used as a reinforcing medium to obtain desired desired goals via an exchange system |
