Behavioral Therapy is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on changing maladaptive behaviours through systematic techniques and interventions. Rooted in the principles of behaviourism, this therapy is based on the idea that all behaviours are learned and, therefore, can be modified. It is commonly used to treat a wide range of psychological disorders, including anxiety, depression, and phobias, by addressing the behaviours that contribute to these conditions.
