1. Classical Condi-
tioning: A learning paradigm studied and practiced in a laboratory or other
controlled environment in which a stimulus called the unconditioned
stimulus (US) which naturally elicits an unconditioned response (UCR), is
paired with a neutral stimulus that does not initially elicit a response.
Through the repeated pairings, the neutral stimulus (now the conditioned
2. Coercion (Aver-
sive Control): stimulus - CS) begins to elicit the desired response (now the
conditioned response - CR).
From behavioral family therapy, one person uses aversive stimuli to control
the behavior of another.
3. Coaching In Bowenian therapy (used by other models as well), the use of an
objective
person, such as the therapist, to guide a family member to interact
with other members in new ways and prevent the family from seducing
the person back into older, dysfunctional behaviors. The therapist takes an
educative role, rather than an emotional one.
4. Sibling Position: Bowen theory incorporates the research of psychologist Walter Toman
as a foun- dation for its concept of sibling position. Bowen observed the
impact of sibling position on development and behavior in his family
research. However, he found Toman's work so thorough and consistent
with his ideas that he incorporated it into his theory. The basic idea is
that people who grow up in the same sibling position predictably have
important common characteristics. For example, oldest children tend to
gravitate to leadership positions and youngest children often prefer to be
followers. The characteristics of one position are not "better" than those of
another position, but are complementary. For example, a boss who is an
oldest child may work unusually well with a first assistant who is a youngest
child. Youngest children may like to be in charge, but their leadership style
typically ditters from an oldest's style. (From the Bowen Center website)

behaviors both by altering the reinforcement contingencies and/or
changing the cognitions that influence their behaviors and
interactions.
6. Cognitive Maps: Mental models by which incoming information is perceived,
understood, trans- formed, and stored, together with a corresponding
repertoire of behavioral op- tions. Maps are based on the integration of
experiences. Each part of the cognitive map - i.e., input and output -
forms the individual's internal representation of reality. Cognitive maps
shape actions and communication. They may be flexible, able to change
and expand cumulatively with new information and experiences, or they
may be rigid and limiting. Maps have both language and spatial
aspects with a private vocabulary and imagery that determines how
incoming communication is interpreted.
