My emerging theory employed aspects of therapy from the humanism, existentialism, dialectical behavior, and when necessary exposure therapy. These theories have represented me as a person. As I have presented them here, they through the lens of each other, they work to form one integrative approach. As Rogerian humanism has laid the foundation for ways of being, this theory also incorporated Dr. Marsha Linehan’s structure of dialectical behavioral therapy’s and goals expressed by Yalom in existentialism with specific practices in Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy. I intend to present specific elements theory that I have used as well as their limitations, and present them working together.

Current literature suggests that the practising of cognitive therapy techniques on oneself is a valuable and useful way to learn about cognitive therapy (Beck, 1995; Padesky & Greenberger, 1995; Padesky, 1996).

Beck (1995, p. 312) advises readers ‘‘to gain experience with the basic techniques of cognitive therapy by practising them yourself before doing so with patients . . . trying the techniques yourself allows you to correct

Intervention Central is a free online resource for teachers and school districts to use for the implementation of intervention in or outside of the classroom while following the Common Core State Standards.

Intervention Central also offers training videos and webinars on many different topics. The site breaks the intervention process activities down by subject and subject areas.

The video was about two sessions for a client with depression, and the treatment plan included Behavioural Activation with Self- monitoring and Activity Scheduling. The therapist focused on the activities the client has been doing in order to link it to the maintenance cycle of depression. In the first session, the therapist introduced self-monitoring, and set this as homework. This will be functioning as a baseline for comparison for future sessions. In the second session, she reviewed the homework and encouraged the client to set goals and do more of the activities he finds pleasurable by maintaining an activity schedule.

For a behavioral modification plan, I decided to try to change how early I got assignments done by lowering my procrastination. If I got the assignment done at least one day before the day it was due, I would give myself one point. I then chose to reward myself for compliance. For the reward, I decided that if I completed more than 75 percent of my assignments before the due date, I would online shop for something that was less than 25 dollars. I did this for a week.

One of the greatest appeals to behavior therapy is its efficacy in treating a wide array of disorders and its innovative applications outside of individual psychotherapy. In the past century, behavior therapy has made increasingly effective and creative therapies to treat patients with maladaptive behaviors which were previously, in some cases, untreatable. With such developments, patients were able to not only treat pathologies, but also improve functioning in a variety of aspects of their lives as well as the lives of those close to them. Amongst the most widely implemented treatments in behavior therapy are token economies, contingency contracts, and behavioral parent training. These therapies proved to be greatly useful when they were

Behavioral Therapeutic techniques have been one of the few theories that impact many people lives. Many therapists use this technique to understand and observe their client’s behavior and how their situation can affect their behavior. The roles and goals a therapist uses to help their client makes the therapist and client session successful. In my mock interview with my client, I learn various behavioral principles many therapists uses to understand their client behavioral problems. Behavioral therapeutic techniques have been a good resource for understanding a person situation.

The key concepts of behavior therapy are that it “is grounded on a scientific view of human behavior that accommodates a systematic and structured approach to counseling” (Corey, 2013, p. 250).

Treatment for drug addiction mainly comes in two forms therapy and medications or can even be a combination. In each treatment, there are three stages: detoxification, treatment, and finally relapse prevention. Both treatments are a long-term process and require a lot of monitoring and involvement.
