Sounds like a really obvious behavior modification program is the only modality you would approve of. Which is fine, if that is your choice. But there has to be a LOT of agreement between client and t, and my feeling is, if we clients were more agreeable, there is no shortage of regular people willing to tell us what to do to modify our behavior. But the science shows us its more complicated than that, when you look at stuff like reinforcement and resistance. From what you write, its like youre trying to redefine psychology or psychotherapy from the ground up, and i would wonder why - why you feel the need to, why you feel you are capable of doing so. Eta - i guess your username hints at that tho!.
Thanks for this!
