Changing Man's Behaviour

have hit out hard at psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. At first they seemed more concerned to discredit Freudian techniques than to settle down to the long and difficult task of accumulating evidence to show the value of their own. Such an approach did little to enhance the reputation of behaviour therapy amongst those who were concerned with day-to-day treatment of the mentally ill. Fortunately, there has been a considerable rapprochement between advocates of behaviour therapy and psychotherapy in the last few years. Most psychotherapists admit that behaviour therapy techniques have some part to play in treatment and some behaviour therapists use techniques of psychotherapy along with behavioural techniques.
