'Behavior Therapy in a Multicultural Setting\r'

'Behavioral admission is based on the principle of explaining one’s behaviour through observation. Through observation an undivided(a) is able to mimic the conducts of others †a process much commonly known as cultivation. It is further believed that behavior is affected by our environment. Since behavior is learned, it screw similarly be unlearned. This is one of the benefits of the behavioural memory access. on that pointfore, behavior which is noisome to the society or runs against complaisantly accepted norms whitethorn still be unlearned. As for behavior which serves to cleanse the state of the individual, such behavior can be enhanced.The process of learning and changing a person’s environment are strong tools of behavioral therapists enabling them to address the particular needs of their clients. There are four major aspects of behavior therapy †(1) serious music aiming, (2) operative conditioning, (3) social learning theory, and (4) cogn itive behavior therapy. Classical conditioning is the use of significant associations to lessen behavior. Operant conditioning is the use of consequences to alter the condition and form of behavior. Cognitive behavior therapy is based on altering mental processes and behaviors, with the aim of influencing disturbed emotions.These can be applied in the work because these methods are not culture-specific. In a culturally different population, all except the social learning approach can be used for counseling. Social learning theory gives prominence to the reciprocal interactions between an individual’s behavior and the environment. This theory requires that individuals mimic discover actions after undergoing a process of understanding and internalizing the observe behavior. Since people coming from different cultures are open to different kinds of accepted behaviors, their internalization and understanding of social norms are also different.When counseling multi-racial ind ividuals therefore, a check as to the particular culture from which the individuals came from must be taken.
