Delve into this Postgraduate diploma on the fathers of humanistic psychology: Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers"

Postgraduate Diploma in Behavior Modification, Classical and Operant Conditioning Based Therapies.

Behavior modification is a psychology technique that aims to promote change in a person's behavior through the use of scientific and empirical techniques. This technique is based on the idea that human behavior can be learned and unlearned through the application of specific techniques. At TECH Global University we have this specialized program designed with the objective of providing theoretical understanding and practices in modifying behaviors through classical and operant conditioning techniques.

Therapies based on classical conditioning (also known as Pavlovian-type therapies or responder-type therapies) focus on the idea that behaviors can be learned and controlled by associating an automatic response to a specific stimulus. For example, this technique can be used to help a person overcome phobias or addictions by "teaching" the brain to associate a stimulus (such as an image or sound) with a more appropriate emotional response (such as calmness or serenity). On the other hand, therapies based on operant conditioning (also known as Skinnerian-type therapies or instrumental-type therapies) focus on the idea that any behavior can be learned or reinforced by experiencing consequences that follow it. Here, the main goal of therapy is to help the individual develop new behavioral techniques to replace inappropriate or undesirable behaviors. It is an excellent option for those who wish to acquire specialized skills and develop a successful career in this field.
