Must  Classical conditioning, Operant conditioning, social learning theory.

Should 

Classical conditioning- Behavior is learnt through stimulus response associations.

Operant conditioning- Behavior is influenced by the consequences of our actions in terms of positive and negative reinforcement.  

Social learning theory- if we observe behavior we have the abilit yo replicate it. 

Support-

Focuses on behaviour- overcomes ethical issues as it concentrates on wether the information is adaptive or maladaptive. 

Focuses on functioning- If the behavior presents no problem to anyone there is no reason to regard it as a mental disorder. 

Criticism-

ignores the cause- the model focuses on the symptoms and ignores the causes of the mental disorder. if the symptoms were treated without treating the problem it will come back another way.

reductionist- to simplistic. Explains through conditioning and observation but not emotion and thinking.
