2. Behavior Therapy Behavior therapy is a method of counseling that focuses on modifying the patient’s learned behavior that are negatively affecting his or here life.

3. Cognitive Therapy Cognitive therapy holds that the principal determinant of emotions, motive and behavior is an individual’s thinking, which is a conscious process. Change perception, alter emotions = changes in lifestyle.

4. Classical Conditioning A model where a particular response to a stimuli can be elicited overtime by association with a related stimulus.

5. Unconditioned stimulus (UCS) A component of classical conditioning: an event that produces an unconditional response when present.

6. Unconditioned Response (UCR) A natural reaction to an unconditioned stimulus A natural reaction to an unconditioned stimulus

7. Conditioned Response A response that is identical to an unconditioned response, yet it is elicited by the conditioned stimulus, not the unconditioned stimulus.

8. Operant Conditioning This model is based on the theory that where behavior is reinforced and learned based on the consequences of the behavior. This model is based on the theory that where behavior is reinforced and learned based on the consequences of the behavior.

9. Reinforcement Something that is added to a situation that increased the likelihood of that even or behavior of occurring again.

10. Negative Reinforcement Something that is taken away or removed from the situation that increase the likelihood of the behavior occurring again.

11. Modeling A principle where a behavior is learned by observing the consequences of someone else’s experience.

12. Shaping The procedure of rewarding successive approximations to the desired response.

13. Coping Skills Training Interpersonal Coping skills deficits are considered a major cause of drinking/using, which is likely to continue in the absence of adequate skills for coping with the events that trigger and follow us.
