ABA 641 Therapeutic Approaches Using Principles of Behavior Analysis 3.0 Credits

This course will explore therapeutic approaches for a wide range of mental health concerns using the principles of behavior analysis. This includes historical approaches starting in classic behavior therapy to modern “Third Wave” contextual behavior therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Behavioral Activation (BA) and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP). The course will have a more specific focus on learning ACT in detail as ACT is the most comprehensive and well-researched model out of these contemporary approaches and incorporates various aspects of BA and FAP.
