In this book we have attempted to confront a number of issues that
are intimately related to the theoretical basis of behavior
therapy. We believe that behavior therapy is an extremely efficient
procedure for the treatment of neurotic disorders; that it is based
on certain principles derived from learning theory; and that it is
unique in using basic scientific principles in psychology in the
service of applied and practical ends. We believe that we are here
dealing with much more than the advantageous use of serendipitous
borrowings from nonexistent principles, the cookbook collection of
precepts, methods, and working rules that happen to have lasting
effects. We also believe that there is truly a general principle
unde. rlying behavior therapy, rather than a varied mass of
nonintegrated therapies that have little in common other than a
name. These beliefs are often contes ted, but usually those who
oppose them do so on the basis of misconceptions and
misunderstandings that indicate a lack of knowledge of fundamental
facts. It is the purpose of this book to remove these
misconceptions and misunderstandings, and to bring up to date our
knowledge in certain fundamental areas of learning theory, behavior
therapy, and the biological foundations of per sonality and
individual differences. There are three major groups of
misconceptions and misunderstandings. The first of these relates to
beliefs held by many psychiatrists and cognitive psychologists
relating to behavior therapy."
