(symptoms)

Skinner CORRECT ANS✔✔ operant conditioning
Operant conditioning CORRECT ANS✔✔ voluntary behaviors are learned through consequences,
and behavioral responses are elicited through reinforcement, which causes a behavior to occur
more frequently. Positive reinforcement- getting a gift, or negative reinforcement- removal of
objectionable' or aversive stimulus
Skinner CORRECT ANS✔✔ Absence of reinforcement, or extinction, also decreases behavior by
withholding a reward that has become habitual. Teachers employ this strategy in the classroom
when they ignore acting-out behavior that had previously been rewarded by more attention.
Skinner's behavior model provides a concrete method for modifying or replacing behaviors.
Behavior management and modification programs based on his principles have shown to be
successful in altering targeted behaviors. Programmed learning and token economies represent
extensions of Skinner's thoughts on learning. Behavioral methods are particularly effective with
children, adolescents, and individuals with many forms of chronic mental illness.
, Universality CORRECT ANS✔✔ Yaslom: The recognition of shared experiences and feelings
among group members and that these may be widespread or universal human concerns, serves to
remove a group member's sense of isolation, validate their experiences, and raise self-esteem.
Altruism CORRECT ANS✔✔ Yaslom: The group is a place where members can help each other,
and the experience of being able to give something to another person can lift the member's self
esteem and help develop more adaptive coping styles and interpersonal skills.
Instillation of hope CORRECT ANS✔✔ Yaslom: In a mixed group that has members at various
stages of development or recovery, a member can be inspired and encouraged by another member
who has overcome the problems with which they are still struggling.
Imparting information CORRECT ANS✔✔ Yaslom: While this is not strictly speaking a
psychotherapeutic process, members often report that it has been very helpful to learn factual
information from other members in the group, for example, about their treatment or about
access to services.
Corrective recapitulation of primary family experience CORRECT ANS✔✔ Yaslom: Members often
unconsciously identify the group therapist and other group members with their own parents and
siblings in a process that is a form of transference specific to group psychotherapy. The therapist's
interpretations can help group members gain understanding of the impact of childhood
experiences on their personality, and they may learn to avoid unconsciously repeating unhelpful
past interactive patterns in present-day relationships.
Development of socializing techniques CORRECT ANS✔✔ Yaslom: The group setting provides a
safe and supportive environment for members to take risks by extending their repertoire of
interpersonal behavior and improving their social skills.
Imitative behavior CORRECT ANS✔✔ Yaslom: One way in which group members can develop
social skills is through a modeling process, observing and imitating the therapist and other group
members. For example, sharing personal feelings, showing concern, and supporting others.
Cohesiveness CORRECT ANS✔✔ Yaslom: Is the primary therapeutic factor from which all others
flow. Humans are herd animals with an instinctive need to belong to groups, and personal
development can only take place in an interpersonal context. A cohesive group is one in which all
members feel
