Behavioural theories strive to explain behaviour using various concepts.
Some systems are mentioned here:
Fruedian
Cognitive
Conditioning
These are some of the major schools of thought. A Freudian system based on psychoanalysis features concepts such as the ID, Ego, and Superego as well as the power of the unconscous mind to dictate behaviour.
A cognitive approach relies on the mental processes themselves of an individual that dictates behaviour. This differs from Freudian schemas in that there is more control over ones behaviour. The original Freudian schema was a little more fatalisitic and hence why Jung and others sought to revolutionise psychoanalysis to being therapeutic.
But cognitive psychology has allowed developments in therapy including EBT and later CBT by Beck.
Conditoning was made famous by pioneers such as Pavlov and Skinner. In a conditioning framework, the individual acts according to previous conditioning. Imagine a person who waits to cross the road, a Skinnerian might say that due to the conditioning either positive or negative by a parent has reinforced a behaviour to cross the road only when it safe to do so.
