Select two theoretically distinct behavior therapies.  Describe in detail the theoretical derivation of, empirical support for, and practical uses of each technique.  Then, compare and contrast these techniques in terms of how well they provide a satisfatory explanation of and methods with which to modify a specific maldaptive behavior which you might target for change.  Given legal and ethical mandates and the budget constraints of most work settings, how would you evaluate the effectiveness of one of the interventions described above?

Incorporate material from the text, lectures, media presentations, and discussion.  Accuracy, clarity, organization, and thoroughness are the dimensions on which your essay will be evaluated.
