Episode 7 explores the “step change” introduced by behaviourism and behaviour therapy. We unpack the shift from interpreting inner experience to focusing on observable learning processes, including Pavlov’s classical conditioning and Watson’s behaviourist framework.

We also discuss how emotional responses like fear can be learned and maintained through conditioning, and why this lens helped psychotherapy develop more structured, measurable approaches to change. This episode situates behaviour therapy as a key chapter in the integrative map of psychotherapy.
