Question

Which of the following is not a technique used in behaviour therapy?

• A. Token economy
• B. Cognitive restructuring
• C. Modelling
• D. Systematic desensitisation

Hint:

One option works on thoughts, not actions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Idea: sort techniques by what they change
Behaviour therapy changes actions through learning. Cognitive therapy changes thinking. Sort each option into one of these.

Step 2: Token economy
Rewards for target actions. It changes actions, so it is behavioural.

Step 3: Cognitive restructuring
It replaces irrational beliefs with realistic ones. It changes thinking, so it is cognitive. This is the odd one.

Step 4: Modelling
Copying an observed model. It changes actions, so it is behavioural.

Step 5: Systematic desensitisation
Gradual exposure with relaxation. It changes the fear response, so it is behavioural.

Step 6: Conclusion
Only cognitive restructuring is outside behaviour therapy, because its target is the way a person thinks and not the way a person acts. So option (2) is the answer, and the other three are all standard behavioural tools.

Final Answer:
Option (2) is the answer. \[ \boxed{\text{Option (2)}} \]
