Understanding and interpreting of behaviour significantly have changed due to new research over the years, this allows us to treat and care for individuals better for instance: 

For example, Albert Bandura used the Bobo doll as an experiment to show how children learn in social settings. The children were exposed to two contrasting adult models, one aggressive and the other non-aggressive. Following their observation of the adult's behaviour, the children were placed in a room without the model and observed to determine if they would repeat the actions they had seen previously. The experiment's findings backed up Bandura's social learning hypothesis. The experiment, according to Bandura and his colleagues, reveals how certain behaviours may be taught through observation and imitation, therefore, showing that social setting does have an impact on behaviour. 

For example, the understanding of reinforcement led to the development of behaviour modification programmes for young offenders as well as strategies for dealing with children's behaviour.

For example, a person with dementia can have rapid mood swings, it is difficult to make appropriate decisions for them, they may become confused or withdrawn, some people can become more outgoing than before, they can forget certain steps while preparing something (better health, 2014). Understanding behaviours of any condition allows health and social care professionals to treat the patient properly and effectively.  

For example, instead of being discharged back into an abusive household, an individual will be directed to the social worker and for referral to a shelter while still in the hospital. This establishes that individual will be treated with dignity and respect.

 

The goal of this therapy is to get insight into one's unconscious mind in order to detect developmental disorders, psychological concerns, or underlying disorders that may be causing depression and anxiety or other issues
