Where do I start in behavioral therapy?

Think

Kanfer & Schefft (1988) suggest six thinking rules for therapists:
1. Think behavior (instead of problems)
2. Think solution (instead of causes)
3. Think in small steps (instead of long-term deficits)
4. Think flexible (instead of continuing to do the same thing)
5. Think positive (instead of focusing on deficits)
6. Think future (instead of past)
