ENSURING THAT PEOPLE “BEHAVE SAFELY”

The Holistic Approach, Part 4 of 4
Michael D. Topf, MA

I started this series by comparing the debate between cognitivism and behaviorism to the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. Last week, I suggested that rather than pick one, it makes more sense to pick a holistic approach that combines aspects of each-part chicken, part egg-chegg. Or, in this case, part cognitive, part behaviorial-cognihavioral. Actually, I prefer to call it cognitive-behavioral. But what matters isn't what the approach is called but that it works. Let me now explain how and why. There are also some useful briefings about tools used by cognitivists that you might want to apply.
