Postgraduate Certificate in Behavior Modification

.

Behavior modification is known as a therapeutic approach that is used to change a person's unwanted or problematic behaviors. It is based on the idea that behaviors can be learned and unlearned, and focuses on identifying the factors that influence the behavior and applying specific techniques to modify it. To become an expert in behavior modification, it is important to have practical experience working with people who require this therapy.

Behavior modification developed from behavioral psychology, which focuses on studying observable and measurable behavior and analyzing the relationships between behaviors, stimuli, and consequences. Behavior modification is used in a wide variety of contexts, such as the treatment of psychological disorders, education, skills training, and working with animals.

It is used to teach new behaviors. It consists of presenting a model that performs the desired behavior so that the person learns the behavior. Modeling is often used in work with children and adults with disabilities.
