This therapy has been successful in treating
phobias, and reducing anxiety and stress. It is a
proven technique that does modify behaviour in
such situations
This therapy starts to work quite fast
Clients can see a change in their
behaviour quickly
It is empowering
Helps clients take control of their phobia, and learn how
to overcome it
It is not successful for some behavioural problems, E.g.
aggression, mental disorders. Therefore it is not
successful with all behavioural problems.
Only concerned with treating behaviours which are
seen, it doesn't alter thoughts that could be behind
behavioural issues
Once treatment stops, behaviours could
revert back to the original problematic
behaviours
It doesn't consider that there are other factors that
may be needed to change behavioural problems
