[Future perspectives in diagnosis and therapy--contribution of behavior therapy].

Behavioural therapists increasingly take in account and apply scientific results and therapeutical methods of other branches of psychology. This has enlarged therapeutical possibilities. On the other hand the traditional techniques of behavioural therapy have found their way into many other schools of psychotherapy. Behavioural therapy and it's therapeutical efficacy has an impact on other schools of psychology and participates to a considerable degree in evaluation of therapeutical processes. In this procedure behavioural therapy undergoes a process leading to new ways out of the ordinary boundries of the traditional school of behavioural therapy. The behavioural therapy together with every other psychotherapeutic school reflects the social process and cannot be seen independently of changing social conditions.
