Operant Conditioning:
Conditioning in which an operant response is brought under stimulus control by virtue of presenting reinforcement contingent upon the occurrence of the operant response. (http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=operant conditioning)
In my own words, training a person to act in a certain way under certain environmental conditions.
My version:
Meta-Operant De-Conditioning
De-programming an individual from learned cultural behavior that is harmful to his/her biological intelligence.
This approach does not rely on a philosophy on how a person should be. Indeed, if a client is suffering, the lens of this approach views all symptoms of that person- mentally ill or normal- as the same. They are all considered ways that the person continually manipulates him/herself. In general, it views people as behaviorally programmed to react, respond and create from the cultural ideas that they have been surrounded by since birth. The rebellion and difference of opinion of each person is also considered a reinforced behavior through cultural programming. The very act of mental rebellion is, in fact, a mental construct that was created from the programming that created the other mental construct from which the individual is rebelling. All of the individuals ideas and beliefs about their reality is considered their programming, and they thus manipulate themselves in accordance with their programming.
The therapist cannot fit into the same outlined category of the client. For the therapist, the opposite is true. Each action is spontaneous and does not emerge from his/her cultural programming. The therapist sees the world biologically, free from mental ideas and obstructions. Thus, when the client communicates, the therapist can observe the way the client is manipulating himself culturally. He then corrects the behavior from the biological perspective. Thus, the therapist is not manipulating the client to be a certain way. The therapist is merely removing the behaviors of the client that are already manipulating him/her. If this is successful, the client regains their natural biological intelligence and is able to function without culturally manipulating him/herself.
This can be done through any modality: Dialectic, tai chi ch'uan, yoga, art therapy, etc. The only requirement for this therapy to succeed is that the therapist does not manipulate his/her client.
