Strength of the therapy
Behavioral therapy is a treatment that helps to change a positive way to think about a situation. In another way, it also called as behavioral modification or cognitive behavioral therapy. In this therapy, patients can learn some skills for the rest of their lives because it can involve personal thinking, changing their own concepts, and changing the behaviors. Behavior therapy has some advantages in counseling culturally for the different types of clients. Some clients cannot express well their feelings or the sharing out the privacy information. So, this therapy could be use on these types of the client because this counseling skill does not generally pay attention to the experiencing catharsis. It can change specific behaviors and developing problem-solving skills. Some potential strengths of the behavioral approaches in working with diverse client populations include its specificity, task orientation, focus on objectivity, focus on objectivity, focus on cognition and behavior, action orientation, dealing with the present more than the past, emphasis on brief interventions, teaching coping strategies, and problem-solving orientation. The attention given to the transfer of learning and the

It means that behavior therapy involves control and social influence by the therapist.For example, some clients will meet the problem with a confrontational style. Indeed, a therapist can be verbal, soft-spoken and moderate and when using REBT concepts and methods. Ann (Vernon., 2007)encourages practitioners to recognize that they can adhere to the basic principles of REBT, which have been effectively used with both adults and children. Janet Wolfe, who has supervised hundreds of practitioners in her 30 years at the Albert Ellis Institute, makes the point that therapists do not need to replicate Ellis’s style to effectively incorporate REBT into their own repertoire of interventions. (Macy,

What type of education is needed, how long does training take, what the job in the field looks like, how long does a certification last, and what does the salary look like?

I have the ability to engage in effective social work practice as I have been exposed to many settings which have provided me the groundwork build my competencies. I have been in a school setting to which I was providing individual and group therapy for students ages 5 through 18. I utilized cognitive behavioral therapy worksheets which are evidence-based and recognized the changes in some students. I ensured that the worksheets utilized were appropriate for whichever age group. During my time in the hospital setting, I built my skills in assessing client needs and coordinating with many community organizations for needed resources.
By midterm, I will be able to provide an accurate description of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and the various activities involved. I will also describe the principles underlying DBT, its benefits and application in the treatment of various mental illnesses. In addition, I will describe
Rationale: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy: Distress Tolerance Skills. This group is long term and short term based on said clients needs. This group is important for daily functioning as Distress Tolerance Skills are skills used when a person is in a difficult situation and is feeling very emotional, but it is best for them not to react to their emotions. These skills help the person cope with the situation rather than make it worse.
There are three specific techniques of structured dyadic behavioral therapy. The first one is behavioral goal setting. Behavioral therapy applies both operant and classical conditioning. These principles are used to support the performance of desired behaviors and reduce those that are undesired. In order for this to work the patient must understand the behavioral expectations and the reinforcements must be thought of as a reward.
Origin Behavioral therapy came from three different countries in the 1950’s. The United States (Skinner), South Africa (Wolpe’s group), and The United Kingdom (Rachman and Eysenck). When it comes to Extinction, it is one of the techniques that come from the Operant Conditioning developed by B.F. Skinner. According to Erford (2015), extinction is a classic behavioral technique based on punishment that involves withholding reinforcements in order to reduce the frequency of a specific behavior.
In therapy, if the undesirable behaviors can be picked out than the client and counselor can work together to get rid of those less desirable behaviors. The modern-day behavior therapy has 6 stages: building the relationship, clinical assessment focusing on problem areas and setting goals, choosing techniques and working on goals, assessment of goal completion and closure and follow-up. Each one of these stages has an important role in building a healthy client/counselor relationship. Then we see that with REBT the therapist is not worried about building a good caring relationship with the client. Instead, they focus on pointing out the negative or distorted beliefs they have.
Therapists must access their own internal process such as their feelings, attitudes and moods. Therapists’, who are not receptive to the awareness of their flow of thoughts and feelings, will not be able to help clients be aware of theirs (Kahn, 1997, p. 40). Though congruence does not mean that therapists have to share personal issues with clients, a therapist must not conceal their inner process from the client, and not be defensive but transparent (Kahn, 1997, p. 41). By being open sometimes a therapist learns more not only about their client but about themselves
Paper 1: BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION Becky Templin Clovis Community College February 17, 2018 Introduction The theory behind behavior modification ethics has a reputation for its accomplishments and disappointments. In addition to this, there are many dangers in using physical punishment as behavior modification with the two primary modifiers of behavior being Classical conditioning and Operant conditioning. The outcome of using negative reinforcement has its share of benefits and downfalls in human behavior whereas; positive reinforcement seems to win over.
A behavioral therapist may use techniques such as classical conditioning to reteach behaviors using a reward based system. There are three branches of this type of therapy: applied behavior analysis, cognitive behavior therapy, and social learning theory. Applied behavior analysis focuses on positive reinforcement to modify behavior, whereas social learning theory occurs purely through observation or direct instruction without any type of reinforcement. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors, and that we can change the way we feel and act even if the situation does not change. Behavioral therapy can help people improve their self-image so that they no longer feel the need to engage in destructive behaviors.
“Therapy (psychotherapy) is the process of working with a licensed therapist to develop positive thinking and coping skills to treat mental health issues such as mental illness and trauma.” Psychological therapies can generally fall into some of these categories: behavioral therapies, which concentrate on behavior; humanistic therapies, which concentrate on self-improvement; arts therapies, which use creative arts within the therapeutic process. Some psychologists use a form of "integrative" therapy, which focuses on drawing on and blending particular types of techniques together. Others may work in an "eclectic" way, which focuses on taking elements of various models and merging them while working with patients. Talking with a therapist or
As I regard my client as a person I cared about, I might be easily to get influence by my client emotions. This in turn may cause me to be subjective rather than objective as a counsellor. Nevertheless, to not be affected by the emotional issue, I must have high self-awareness with better understanding of myself. It is important to have counsellors to regularly examine their own issues and hone their counselling skills to prevent their personal biases from interfering with their counselling session. In such case, to have an effective counselling, certain strategies could be used.
