Modeling Therapy
In the modeling
form of behavioral therapy, clients
are asked to observe persons coping effectively in the situations
that they find anxiety
provoking. This therapy is based on the work of Bandura (1969)
and his basic principle is that people can change by simply watching
models of other people successfully cope with the problems they
face. People have been helped to overcome such things as phobias
and sexual
disorders. Modeling appears to be quite effective in changing
behavior, especially when live modeling is used.
