, Classical Conditioning: - ANS A learning paradigm studied and practiced in a
laboratory or other controlled environment in which a stimulus called the unconditioned
stimulus (US) which naturally elicits an unconditioned response (UCR), is paired with a
neutral stimulus that does not initially elicit a response. Through the repeated pairings,
the neutral stimulus (now the conditioned stimulus - CS) begins to elicit the desired
response (now the conditioned response - CR).
Coercion (Aversive Control): - ANS From behavioral family therapy, one person uses
aversive stimuli to control the behavior of another.

Coaching - ANS In Bowenian therapy (used by other models as well), the use of an
objective person, such as the therapist, to guide a family member to interact with other

Sibling Position: - ANS Bowen theory incorporates the research of psychologist Walter
Toman as a foundation for its concept of sibling position. Bowen observed the impact of
sibling position on development and behavior in his family research. However, he found

theory. The basic idea is that people who grow up in the same sibling position

gravitate to leadership positions and youngest children often prefer to be followers. The
characteristics of one position are not "better" than those of another position, but are
complementary. For example, a boss who is an oldest child may work unusually well

with a first assistant who is a youngest child. Youngest children may like to be in charge,
but their leadership style typically differs from an oldest's style. (From the Bowen Center

Cognitive Behavior Family Therapy (CBT): - ANS Therapies based on both behavioral
ST
techniques, which grew out of scientific, laboratory experiments, and on the cognitive
therapy models. People learn to modify behaviors both by altering the reinforcement
contingencies and/or changing the cognitions that influence their behaviors and
interactions.
Cognitive Maps: - ANS Mental models by which incoming information is perceived,
understood, transformed, and stored, together with a corresponding repertoire of
behavioral options. Maps are based on the integration of experiences. Each part of the
cognitive map - i.e., input and output - forms the individual's internal representation of
reality. Cognitive maps shape actions and communication. They may be flexible, able to
