Behavior Therapy focuses on changing maladaptive behaviors through the use of reinforcement techniques, such as positive and negative reinforcements, punishment, and extinction. This approach is particularly effective for individuals dealing with phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), or habits they wish to break, such as smoking or overeating. Through techniques like systematic desensitization and exposure therapy, behavior therapy helps individual learn new responses to situations that previously triggered problematic behaviors.
