Behaviour therapy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Behavior therapy is a form of psychotherapy used to treat depression, anxiety disorders, phobias, and other forms of psychopathology.

Behavior therapy is based upon the principles of classical conditioning developed by Ivan Pavlov and operant conditioning developed by B.F. Skinner.

Early pioneers in behavior therapy include Joseph Wolpe and Hans Eysenck.[1]
