Behavioural Therapy Course Andrew Salter who founded modern behavioural therapy used conceptions of excitation & inhibition as the basis for treatment of the neurotic. When excitatory forces dominate, people are action-orientated & emotionally free. They meet life on their own terms. The neurotic, on the other h&, always suffers from an excess of inhibition. Through this course the student will learn how Behavioural Therapy employs mental & physical exercise to build & strengthen the excitatory processes, creating a new balance where they can dominate the brain functioning & overcome problematic behaviour.
