Behavior therapy groups
Behavior therapy groups refers to an approach in which patients with similar problems (e.g., depression, agoraphobia, pain) are treated as a group using standard behavioral or cognitive-behavioral methods . In Behavior therapy groups, little attention is generally given to group dynamics.
Behavior therapy is a type of psychotherapy that is based on the notion that depressed people experience too few rewards or reinforcements from their environment and focuses on and attempts to alter current behavior. However, underlying causes of the problem may not be addressed.
