- Behavioural approach
- focuses only on behaviours
- Abnormal behaviours are learned
- Classical conditioning
- Social learning
- abnormal behaviours may also be acquired by seeing others rewarded for the same behaviour
- Operant conditioning
- Limitations
- treatment success comes from tackling the symptoms and not the cause - the cause may still remain and simply resurface
- suggests that although the symptoms of many disorders are behavioural, the cause may not be
- behaviourist explanations have been criticised for offering a very limited view of the factors that might cause abnormal behaviours
- they tend to ignore the role of physiological or cognitive factors in the onset and treatment of abnormality
- treatment success comes from tackling the symptoms and not the cause - the cause may still remain and simply resurface
