Therapy focuses on behavior change in the present and on action programs.
Behavior is the product of learning. We are both the product and the producer of our environment. No set of unifying assumptions about behavior can incorporate all the existing procedures in the behavioral field. Due to the diversity of views and strategies it is more accurate to think of behavioral therapies rather than a unified approach. Contemporary behavior therapy encompasses a variety of conceptualizations, research methods, and treatment procedures to explain and change behavior.
