Behavioural techniques used are:
- Activity logs, which permit retrospective identification and prospective planning of changes
- Scheduling activities, to enhance personal efficacy in targeted areas
- Behavioural rehearsal, modelling and assertiveness training for skill development
- Relaxation training and behavioural redirection techniques
- In vivo exposure
- Graded task assignment, so that the patient can experience changes as an incremental step-by-step process
- Behavioural change analysis to assist the patient braining down problem sequences and developing ideas for response alternatives at each stage
- Time and routine management
- Stimulus control, or purposeful alteration of cues to prompt desired responses or behaviours, and create conditions that will discourage maladaptive behaviours
- Contingency management, to link rewards or positive reinforcement with desired efforts, and decrease the benefits associated with maladaptive responses.
