    The behavioral approach views behavior as shaped by interactions with the environment through reinforcement and punishment rather than innate factors, and sees abnormal behavior as learned through conditioning and environmental influences. Treatment focuses on modifying behaviors through classical and operant conditioning techniques like exposure therapy and systematic desensitization that aim to change specific maladaptive thoughts and behaviors. An example is using exposure therapy to treat phobias by associating the fear with something positive.
