Abstract
The tendency to establish competing factions between insight and action therapy is like proclaiming that penicillin is better (or worse) than vitamins. Behavior therapy and insight-oriented therapy often have different aims, goals and purposes. Increased awareness and personal understanding through self-exploration is a viable goal in and of itself—especially for relatively well-functioning “behavior therapists.” Of course, most cases call for increased self-understanding and specific behavior change.
