Working in Behavioral Psychology

There are several opportunities for integrating behavioral psychology into practice.
For instance, many psychologists research topics like conditioning to examine the
nature of human behavior. Often, they are able to apply findings to mental health
disorders.

Behavioral psychology has had a major impact in clinical applications. For instance,
mental health counselors, substance abuse counselors, and other professionals use
therapeutic techniques from behaviorism to help people overcome specific issues.
Even newer fields, like applied behavior analysis, have emerged by adapting
concepts from behavioral psychology.

The foundation to all those careers is an undergraduate degree in psychology. You
