CBT represents a psychosocial strategy where psychotherapists instigate behavioral modification among clients, aiding them in tackling and altering the unreasonable views and theories potentially underlying maladaptive conduct. Such conduct is defined as socially intolerable or counterproductive conduct that stops people from properly adapting to ordinary circumstances. CBT’s chief aim is identification of maladaptive conduct and connected opinions, correction of these opinions, and their replacement by more apt views which will lead to better adaptive conduct and improved coping (Gatchel & Rollings, 2008).In keeping with the psychiatric medical theory, CBT’s efficacy, on the whole, is governed by its ability to alleviate symptoms and the ailment in general, and improve functioning. For attaining the above objective, clients are engaged actively in a concerted process of issue resolution for testing and challenging maladaptive cognitions’ validity and amending maladaptive behavior trends (Hofmann et al. 2012)

c. Systematic Positive Reinforcement
Reinforcement of desirable conduct makes its repetition more likely. Consequently, establishing a system of reinforcement will motivate individuals to think as well as behave in the desired way. One can conveniently integrate this into teaching settings and target a particular behavior by, say, incorporating sticker charts, sending positive notes to learners’ parents, and earning of time for engaging in a creative activity of choice. These need to first be carefully explained prior to describing desirable conduct (Pulsifer, 2012)

Persons with generalized anxiety disorder often worry excessively about health, money, family, or work, and continually anticipate disaster." People with GAD are accustomed to approaching life as "worriers," and the disorder can be difficult to treat.
