2. LEADING FIGURES
BF SKINNER
LIBERMAN
ALBERT BANDURA
BECK AND ELLIS

3. BASIC PRINICPLES
REACTION AGAINST PSYCHODYNAMIC APPROACHES (SEEN AS UNSCIENTIFIC)
APPLICATION OF LEARNING THEORY (ALL BEHAVIOR IS LEARNED, CAN BE UNLEARNED, RELEARNED)
APPLIED TO FAMILY SYSTEMS (NO NEED TO WORK WITH ENTIRE SYSTEM)
NO NEED TO UNDERSTAND UNDERLYING INTRAPSYCHIC OR INTERPERSONAL CAUSES

4. BASIC PRINCIPLES
BEHAVIORS CAN BE CHANGED THROUGH USING REINFORCEMENTS * BEHAVIORAL PARENT TRAINING
THERAPIST’S ROLE IS AS TEACHER, COACH, MODEL
APPLYING BEHAVIORAL PRINCIPLES IN COUPLES THERAPY * OPERANT CONDITIONING (SHAPING BEHAVIOR)
CONTINGENCY CONTRACTS (QUID PRO QUO)

5. COGNITIVE BEHAVIOR THERAPY
A NEED TO TAKE COGNITITIONS INTO CONSIDERATION * THOUGHTS * IMAGES
COGNITIVE RESTRUCTURING * COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS (ABC) * FUNCTIONAL VERSUS DYSFUNCTIONAL

6. ROLE OF ASSESSMENT
BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS * ASSESSMENT OF PRESENTING PROBLEM * QUANTIFYING (HOW OFTEN? FOR HOW LONG?) * ANTECEDANTS/CONSEQUENCES * TEACHING NEW WAYS TO ALLEVIATE THE SYMPTOM
COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT * ANALYSIS OF INNER EXPERIENCES (THOUGHTS, ATTITUDES, EXPECT ATIONS, BELIEFS)

7. COMMONALITIES OF ALL BEHAVIORAL APPROACHES
A DIRECT FOCUS ON OBSERVABLE BEHAVIOR, SUCH AS SYMPTOMS, RATHER THAN AN EFFORT TO HYPOTHESIZE ABOUT CAUSALITY
A CAREFUL, ONGOING ASSESSMENT OF THE SPECIFIC, USUALLY OVERT, BEHAVIOR TO BE ALTERED
A CONCERN WITH EITHER INCREASING OR DECREASING TARGETED BEHAVIOR BY DIRECTLY MANIPULATING EXTERNAL CONTINGENCIES OR REINFORCEMENTS

8. COMMONALITIES
A STRIVING TO TEACH AND COACH COMMUNICATION AND PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS * ASSERTIVENESS TRAINING * ACTIVE LISTENING * CONFLICT MANANAGEMENT
AN EFFORT TO TRAIN FAMILIES TO MONITOR AND MODIFY THEIR OWN REINFORCEMENT CONTINGENCIES
A STANDARD OF EMPIRICALLY EVALUATING THE EFFECTS OF THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION

9. BEHAVIORAL FORMS OF THERAPY
BEHAVIORAL COUPLES THERAPY (LIBERMAN) * PROBLEM SOLVING * COMMUNICATION SKILLS * CONFLICT MANAGEMENT * CONTINGENCY CONTRACTS * COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS
BEHAVIORAL PARENT TRAINING (PATTERSON) * MODELING * ANTECEDANTS AND REINFORCE MENTS (CONSEQUENCES) * BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION

10. FORMS OF THERAPY
FUNCTIONAL FAMILY THERAPY * ALL BEHAVIOR SERVES A FUNCTION (TO GET CLOSER, MOVE FURTHER APART, OR BOTH) * CHANGE THE BEHAVIOR TO SERVE THE FUNCTION
CONJOINT SEX THERAPY (MASTERS AND JOHNSON)

11. BEHAVIORAL/COGNITIVE TECHNIQUES
EDUCATION (VERBAL AND WRITTEN)
COMMUNICATION AND PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS
OPERANT CONDITIONING TO SHAPE BEHAVIOR (TOKEN ECONOMY)
COACHING (ISSUING DIRECTIVES)
CONTINGENCY CONTRACTING (SOMETHING FOR SOMETHING)
EXTINCTION (REMOVING REINFORCEMENTS)
SYSTEMATIC DESENSITIZATION

12. TECHNIQUES TIME-OUTS CHARTING (MEASURING) THOUGHT STOPPING
DISPUTING IRRATIONAL BELIEFS
POSITIVE SELF-TALK
MODELING AND ROLE PLAYING
