                    71-1 Analyze how the basic assumption of 
                    behavior therapy differs from the assumptions of 
                    psychodynamic and humanistic therapies, and 
                    examine the techniques used in exposure 
   Module 
       71           therapies and aversive conditioning.
                    71-2 Describe the main premise of therapy 
                    based on operant conditioning principles, and 
                    contrast the views of its proponents and critics.
    Behavior,       71-3 Discuss the goals and techniques of the 
   Cognitive,       cognitive therapies and of cognitive-
   and Group        behavioral therapy.
   Therapies        71-4 Discuss the aims and benefits of group 
                    therapy and family therapy.
     How does behavior therapy differ from 
    psychodynamic and humanistic therapy?
   The psychodynamic and humanistic therapies, the 
     insight therapies, expect people’s problems to 
    diminish as they gain insight into their unresolved 
    and unconscious tensions and as people get in 
          touch with their feelings.
    Rather than delving deeply below the surface looking for 
    inner causes, behavior therapists assume that problem 
          behaviors are the problems.
    If maladaptive symptoms are learned behaviors, why not 
     apply learning principles to replace them with new, 
           constructive behaviors?
          Analyzing cartoons
   How does the cartoon depict the differences between 
      psychoanalytic and behavior therapy?  
   How can maladaptive behaviors be learned?
        As Pavlov and others showed, we
   learn various behaviors and emotions through classical 
            conditioning. 
   If we’re attacked by a dog, we may thereafter have a 
   conditioned involuntary fear response when other dogs 
   approach. (Our fear generalizes, and all dogs become 
           conditioned stimuli.)
   So, if phobias, anxiety and perhaps depression can be 
        learned…. can they be unlearned?
    Label the components of the classically 
         conditioned phobia.
   If we are attacked by a dog, we may thereafter have 
     a conditioned fear response when other dogs 
            approach.
