Behavior Therapy Functional Analysis

Decent Essays
I thought that your evaluation of Behavior Therapy theory was thorough and you were able to bring out consistencies and inconsistencies with Biblical truth along with how Behavior Therapy could help with Spiritual growth of a client. I enjoyed seeing how you tied scripture into behavior and actions. I think that functional analysis involves understanding thoughts and how those thoughts play out in behaviors. A verse in Proverbs reminds me of the importance of understanding what happens when we stray from God (antecedes) and what happens after it (consequences) and provides wisdom in how to keep behavior in check. Proverbs 4:25-27 says “Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. Ponder the path of your feet; then

    An important component of Dialectical Behavior therapy is the arrangement of the environment.

The environment would also need to be inviting, which is why we picked a local and hopefully familiar community center. We also picked a day and time that we believe the families would be less busy. There is also a lessened likelihood of breaching client’s confidentiality about being a part of the group.…

One such treatment is group counseling which is the one that most mental health professionals use and usually have anywhere between eight and ten prisoners and will have meetings many times per week.

Another treatment that is used is specialized groups which accommodates substance abuse, anger management, parenting, and many other kinds of issues.

More than 1 million American youth end up in juvenile court every year, and 160,000 of them are referred to residential placement (DeAngelis, 2011).
