Behavioral therapy is based on the idea that behaviors are learned and as a result, they can be changed. Use of methods such as punishment and reinforcement facilitate behavior change (Morris et al., 2005, pg. 99-100). The main focus is to identify current issues, behaviors that lead to these issues, and how to change them (Morris et al., 2005, pg. 99-100).

Family Systems

 

 

 

Murray Bowen (Haefner, 2014, pg. 835-836).

 

 

The family is viewed as a system where members interact with each other and influence each other’s behaviors. All members are interconnected and dysfunction within the system leads to family and individual issues (Haefner, 2014, pg. 835-836). -Explore interactional family dynamics

-Improve family communication

Solution Focused Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg (Trepper et al., 2006, pg. 133-134) The therapy process focuses on finding solutions to client issues. Therapists generate a detailed description of their clients’ issues and describe how their lives will be different when the problems are dealt with. Therapy facilitates change by helping clients develop solutions instead of focusing on the problems (Trepper et al., 2006, pg. 133-134). -Develop and implement solutions to client issues

-Minimize the time that clients spend suffering or struggling (Trepper et al., 2006, pg. 133-134).
