The Therapist in Behavioral and Multimodal Therapy

Natural High Therapy

Natural High Therapy is a here-and-now optimistic behaviorally oriented therapy designed to teach about chronic and crucial constrictions of self-esteem (feelings of worth and significance) and social interest (feelings of similarity with others and belonging in the universe). (12 pp.)

Behavior Modification

Behavior change — the implicit or explicit goal of all psychotherapy — is conceived of as a learning process, Behavior Modification, from the practitioner’s point of view, is thus an “educational” endeavor. Modification refers to outcome rather than method, it does not distinguish between various means of changing behavior. (9 pp.)

Broad Spectrum Behavior Therapy

Broad Spectrum Behavior Therapy is a form of “technical eclecticism” wherein the practitioner relies on not only strictly behavioral techniques, such as desensitization or assertive training, but also on more traditional strategies, such as interpretation, reflection, cognitive restructuring, as well as the relationship aspects of therapy. The selection of treatment approaches by the Broad Spectrum Behavior therapist is more determined by his perception of the needs of the patient and the patient’s individual responses than to any specific set of theoretical assumptions.
