Abstract
This paper reviews and analyzes Gestalt and behavior therapy. According to the paper, Gestalt therapy is a psychological system that stresses integration of body and mind factors by developing self-awareness and personal responsibility. The paper goes on to discuss behavior therapy, stating that there are several approaches to cognitive-behavioral therapy, including rational emotive behavior therapy, rational behavior therapy, rational living therapy, cognitive therapy and dialectic behavior therapy.
From the Paper
"Therefore, the therapeutic process encourages the client to interact with the environment, as a group, as an individual, and on many different levels, with different techniques, from using battacca bats to whack furniture, to imaging and interacting with the image in their mind by conversing with it out loud. The techniques used in therapy vary as widely as the therapists and clients, from principles based on Holism, Field theory, figure formation, organismic, the concept of the Now and "unfinished business." The therapist dialogues with warmth and caring, yet remains "invisible," as the client is encouraged to interact with the field (environment). The client must think of him- or herself as an abstract area in a limitless "field," thus, therapy is "unpredictable," or follows moment to moment dictum. (Doermann, 2002)"

From the Paper
" Family therapist, Walter Kempler, worked for a brief time with pioneering Gestalt therapist Fritz Perls who greatly influenced the development of Kempler's concepts of dealing with whole families in therapeutic situations. Although the two agreed on many principles, Kempler finally parted professional company with Perls on the issue of the therapist's involvement in the sessions. Perls thought that the therapist should be outside the immediate encounter, and Kempler believed that the therapist should not hide behind any device whatsoever (Kempler, 1973, p. 13).
Kempler, Perls, and others important in the field of family work--Virginia Satir and Murray Bowen--held that the family constellation is the most valuable and appropriate unit for(...)"

Abstract
This paper explains that there are various approaches to treating autism, including diet, pharmacology and inclusion programs, which work in different ways with different individuals. The author points out that the prognosis for individuals with autism is mixed; the prognosis is definitely positive for many high-functioning individuals. The paper relates that, in autistic children, occupation therapy will enable a child perform "occupations" or activities" with the objective of developing social roles, concentrating not on being able to memorize an abstract rule but on being able to explain a self-generated and applied rules so that the individuals take pride in their own work and in being able to explain their unique respective operational procedures.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Autistic individuals will demonstrate different levels of disturbance and signs of the disorder in individual ways. Some common ways include auditory disturbances, such as reacting very differently than a normal individual would in reference to certain sounds, words or noises. Other words or sounds may register a blank affect, but sometimes autistic individuals are very visibly disturbed by these sounds, and may cover or hit their ears or try to make a sound that is louder than the auditory disturbance that is being perceived. Other autistic individuals respond to tactile situations rather than auditory ones, or have a combination of the two. In this manifestation of autism, an intrusion on the individual's personal space or touching may or may not provoke a very severe
emotional disturbance in the individual. The individual may have restless or stereotyped movements and activity levels that are abnormal, or exhibit an apparent disregard for personal safety, depending on the level of functioning."

They need to be able to use several approaches with skill and flexibility, as a client may become stuck and need an innovative way to move forward."
