Systematic Desensitization
Based on classical conditioning, SD was developed by Joseph Wolpe
SD is effective in reducing maladaptive anxiety and treating anxiety-related disorders, particularly specific phobias

Exposure Therapies (slide 1 of 2)
In Vivo Desensitization

Exposure Therapies (slide 2 of 2)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy – Chapter 9 (11)

Social Skills Training
Helps clients develop and achieve skills in interpersonal competence
May involve behavioral procedures (e.g., psychoeducation, modeling, behavior rehearsal, and feedback)

Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy – Chapter 9 (12)

Self-Management Programs

Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy – Chapter 9 (15)

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
Assists people in learning to live more fully in the present
The skills taught in MBSR include sitting meditation and mindful yoga, aimed at cultivating mindfulness

Strengths from a Diversity Perspective
Behavior therapy may appeal to culturally diverse clients for many reasons (e.g., it emphasizes objectivity, tasks, cognition, behavior, action, coping, problem-solving, etc.)
Behavior therapy focuses on environmental, social, and political conditions that contribute to a client’s problems
Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy – Chapter 9 (22)
24
Limitations from a Diversity Perspective
Some counselors may use a variety of techniques in narrowly treating specific behavioral problems
Therapists who do not assess the interpersonal and cultural dimensions of the client’s problem may not adequately prepare him/her for the consequences of newly acquired social skills
Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy – Chapter 9 (23)
25
Contributions of Behavior Therapy
The specificity of the behavioral approaches helps clients translate unclear goals into concrete plans of action
A wide variety of specific behavioral techniques have been developed
Behavioral interventions have been subjected to more rigorous evaluation than other approaches
Behavior therapy emphasizes ethical accountability
Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy – Chapter 9 (24)
26
Limitations of Behavior Therapy (slide 1 of 2)
Heavy focus on behavioral change may detract from client’s experience of emotions
Some counselors believe the therapist’s role as a teacher deemphasizes the important relational factors in the client-therapist relationship
Behavior therapy does not place emphasis on insight
Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy – Chapter 9 (25)

Limitations of Behavior Therapy (slide 2 of 2)
Behavior therapy tends to focus on symptoms rather than underlying causes of maladaptive behaviors
There is potential for the therapist to manipulate the client using this approach
Some clients may find the directive approach imposing or too mechanistic
