4C THE CHILLIWACK PROGRESS, Wednesday, February 2, 1977 Direct approach taken by behavior therapist opposed goals, and no treatment effect can ensue. However, if the hedonistic lifestyle is rejected by the addict, the problem will be taken care of in a relatively short time. Then there are those among us who like to give a personal touch to most anything they do, like modify the advice; they will likely fare very poorly with a behavior therapist. alcoholism may be a simple learned habit, or else it can mask a deep-rooted inferiority complex, low self-esteem, suspiciousness of others, and many more problems. Given these deep-rooted problems, the therapist may not succeed because of the client's poor motivation to get better and to help himself.

Or a drug addict may not benefit, because his basic lifestyle is pleasure-oriented and what the therapist demands him to do and follow through in treatment would deprive him of his vicarious pleasures. Therefore he only pretends to co-operate while in fact he is sabotaging the therapist's efforts. Thus the therapist and client work toward two diametrically their journals some success with a limited number of problems in living. Their success rate is high for specific symptoms such as situational fears and anxieties associated with specific persons, places or objects (i.e. phobias), or such specific symptoms as persistent enuresis in an older child or nervous tics.

Some sexual disorders, especially those associated with a person's inability to relax, may be successfully treated by behaviorists. In general it would seem that behavior therapy is quite successful with surface problems, like learned habits. However, if a surface problem masks a deep-seated personality disorder, success may be nil. For example, a person's andor personalities, let me say at the very beginning that unlike the Freudian or Rogerian approaches (where the therapist is permissive), the behavior therapist takes a very direct, "matter of fact" approach to the problem. He will ask the client to state his problem and then outlines what he will do.

No time will be spent discussing life history or personality. Background information is not needed because behavior therapy shows interest in one symptom at a time, be it anxiety, a nervous tic or enureses. Ease in being close to others does not seem to play any major role in behavior therapy. There is no search for blame nor is blame attached to anyone, the client included. Course of action is very definite, but not easy: do as you are told, and you will get well.

The procedure does not provide for any discussion. Behavior therapy appears to provide (so it is claimed by the student of behaviorism) clear-cut solutions, which when followed religiously, are designed to bring success. Any alteration in the technique, or frequency of exercise, may cause the therapy to fail altogether. Those who would rather have specific advice than general suggestions may greatly enjoy working with a behavior therapist. In general, these would be realistically inclined people, at ease in setting goals for themselves and very consistent at pursuing them.

They are also at ease in making decisions and would rarely change their mind or become doubtful. Behavior therapists report in Y. Observers generally agree that the original home of the peach was China. it, I WE CARRY ALL PATTERN LIflES 7 fir- Ji By Jan Gabrys Last week I began a discussion on behavior modification as an approach to human problems, and gave an example of the "desensitization process." Another example might be a young woman who was taken by her fiance to a revolving restaurant at the top of a tower. Since she was not aware of her fear of height, she readily agreed to sit next to the window where she had a bird's eye view of the city.

She suddenly found herself perspiring, short of breath, lost her appetite and felt terribly embarrassed. She begged her fiance to get her down to "earth" where her paleness gradually disappeared. Terribly ashamed of her behavior and reaction which she had not experienced before, she consulted a psychological counselling clinic and entered therapy sessions. Her relaxation exercises, following the same pattern of alternation of pleasant with unpleasant reactions, went somewhat like this: she imagined herself looking down from various, ever-higher places and these were alternated with something quite pleasant which she could easily and vividly recall. After about 20 sessions with the behavior therapist, she finally was able to recall the bird's eye view from the restaurant's window while seeing in her imagination her delight when her fiance put the engagement ring on her finger.

Following this she returned to the tower and her phobia of heights (acrophobia) was gone. Her fiance never knew what spoiled their first dinner.
