The possibilities of behavioural therapy in learning therapy are dealt with on the basis of specific learning problems. Hypnotherapeutic approaches within behavioural therapy are taken into account. It deals with motivation, concentration, test anxiety and the organisation of the learning process. Many examples are provided to support the understanding of the recommended methods. Behavioural therapy concentrates on the current symptomatic behaviour and therefore does not aim to change the client’s entire personality. Even Eysenck’s classic studies on anxiety disorders show that no shifts in symptoms were observed after a phobia had been successfully overcome (as would be expected from a psychoanalytical perspective). One of the advantages of this focus on current behaviour is that help can be provided quickly. The learning therapist in particular is consulted when, for example, examinations threaten to be unsuccessful and negative consequences for the client’s life need to be averted.
