The behavioral approach to psychopathology focuses on observable behaviors and environmental factors that influence mental illnesses rather than internal mental processes. It examines how classical and operant conditioning as well as social learning theory can help explain various disorders. Researchers study this approach through scientific methods like extrapolation and evaluate it for being deterministic and reductionist.
