In contrast, he argues that these problems are behavioral, not chemical, and he advocates behavioral therapy as an antidote. He makes the controversial claim that for virtually every psychological difficulty, behavioral therapy is more effective than drug treatment. Not only that, but the side effects of behavioral therapy, rather than being harmful like many drugs, are actually beneficial, often facilitating self-empowerment through learning functional life skills.Psychotropic drugsNeurobehavioral disordersChemotherapyBehavior therapyPsychotropic drugs.Neurobehavioral disordersChemotherapy.Behavior therapy.616.89/142Flora Stephen Ray1963-1812383MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910971401203321Taking America off drugs4368648UNINA
