The document discusses the role and functions of behavioral therapists in the therapeutic process. A behavioral therapist conducts a thorough functional assessment of the client and formulates initial treatment goals and a plan to accomplish those goals based on the assessment. The therapist then implements the plan, evaluates its success, and conducts follow-up assessments. The goals of behavior therapy are to increase personal choice and create new conditions for learning for the client. A good relationship between the therapist and client can also contribute to behavior change.
