Behavioural Intervention Procedures I: Respondent and Operant Procedures

In Chapter 2 we introduced the learning theory principles from which the behavioural intervention procedures have been derived. The behaviour that is influenced may be visible, or it may be covert (feelings and thoughts). And it need not be our clients’ behaviour, it can just as well be our own or our associates’ or the behaviour of other people in our clients’ lives. In unitary approach language: the target system need not be the same as the client system.
