professionals to establish the bases of performance and to strategize important schemes.
Interpersonal Theory
Harry was born in Norwich in a low-income family (Evans, 2006). He joined Chicago
College where he did medicine and surgery. According to Evans (2006) disorders and
personality were as a result of social forces and interpersonal situations. He sees being lonely and
anxiety as the most painful human experience. Anxiety in children is still based on perceived
degrees of agreement or disagreement on the primary caregiver (Evans, 2006).
Application
The theory forms a theoretical basis interpersonal, psychotherapy for schizophrenia, and
depression. It guides the therapists and challenges maladaptive behaviors and views that are
distorted.
Behavioral Theories
Based on Angell (2013) Ivan Pavlov was born in 1849 in Russia; he left his carrier in the
theological school to be a scholar in science. Pavlov investigated classical conditioning in 1927,
where external stimuli that were conditioned affected the dog's behavior. After the bell rang, the
dog became conditioned that it still salivated even in absence of food.
According to Moore (2011) Watson was born in 1978 in South America and started the
psychological school of behaviorism. In 1930 He satisfied that personality traits and responses,
adaptive and maladaptive, were studied. Watson conditioned a nine years old child to be scared
at the sight of white hair. He concluded that anybody could be trained in behavioral techniques.
