Discuss modelling as a form of behaviour therapy.

Solution

Bandura has worked extensively on developing the modelling technique. It is a procedure in which the client learns to behave in a certain way by observing the behaviour of a role model or the therapist who mutually acts as a role model. Modelling can influence behaviour as it serves as a basis for learning new skills.

• To eliminate fears and inhibitions.

• It facilitates socially existing behaviour patterns.

• Learning through observing others and through a process of rewarding small changes in the behaviour, the client gradually learns to acquire the behaviour of the model.
