Behaviour therapy: psychological distress arises because of faulty behaviour patterns/thought patterns. Behaviour therapy consists of a large set of specific techniques and interventions. It is not a unified theory. The foundation of behaviour therapy is on formulating dysfunctional/faulty behaviour, the factors which reinforce and maintain these behaviours, devising methods by which they can be changed.
Negative reinforcement and aversive conditioning are the two major techniques of behaviour modification.
