Benefits of Behavioral Therapy 

 

Behavioral therapy is an action-based therapy that looks to foster positive behavior change. In behavioral therapy, the goal is to identify patterns of behavior and environmental contingencies that maintain the unwanted behavior. After behavior patterns and maintaining factors are identified, the therapist looks to eradicate maladaptive behavior and replace it with alternative appropriate behaviors.
