This paper proposes a cognitive-behavioral approach to behavior therapy as an alternative to the counterconditioning model presently in vogue. The key terms in this model are cognitive appraisal, threat, counterharm resources, behavioral coping action tendencies, situational constraints, internalized values and affects. The approach based on R. Lazarus' theorizing is briefly described, personalistic broad-spectrum behavior therapy techniques are classified according to this model and an outline is presented to demonstrate the value of the cognitive-behavioral approach in conceptualizing the development and change of maladaptive behavior.

Case Presentations

While observing case presentations of more than a dozen behavior therapists at various stages of experience, the authors noted the inappropriate and almost indiscriminate use of desensitization methods. Various negative repercussions are described, and examples are presented of rapid change following appropriate (non-desensitization) techniques. The plea is for broad-spectrum behavior therapy as replacement for narrow S-R formulations.

The autism community represents a broad spectrum of individuals, including those experiencing autism, their parents and/or caregivers, friends and family members, professionals serving these individuals, and other allies and advocates. Beliefs, experiences, and values across the community can be quite varied. As such, it is important for the professionals serving the autism community to be well-informed about current discussions occurring within the community related to neurodiversity, a strengths-based approach to partnering with autism community, identity-first language, and concepts such as presumed competence. Given the frequency with which speech-language pathologists (SLPs) serve the autism community, the aim of this article is to introduce and briefly discuss these topics.
