About the Course

In this course you will learn about understanding and changing mental and physical health behavior. We will examine both the historical context and the current science. Major topics will include fundamental behavioral principles and basic elements of empirically supported individual treatments (e.g., motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapies). Lectures and examples will illustrate both the theory and the practice of evidence-based approaches to behavior change. You will engage in a course-long behavior change experiment as well as brief quizzes. Please note: this course is designed to introduce you to a range of contemporary approaches to behavioral treatments; however, it will not provide the skills needed to implement psychological interventions with others (this requires years of graduate training) nor is it designed to address or resolve your own psychological problems. For each module, students will complete 1 assignment related to their personal behavior change project and 1 quiz on the week’s material....

I liked the content and how well is explained. This is a good tool to lifestyle change and a good base for further courses to deepen in CBT. Thank you Alexis May and team!

I enjoyed the "Creating Behavioral Change" course the most. Kind of brings everything together. I always read the transcript before listening to the instructor. This helped me to understand the terminology and concepts better.

Course is well worth my time and money.

El contenido es teóricamente

bien sustentado, se pueden aprender nuevas estrategias para entender el cambio de conducta. Algunos vídeos

de apoyo son muy buenos, otros un poco largos y repetitivos. En general aprendí

mucho y reforcé conceptos que conocía

Actually it is very interesting and effective to learn how to change behaviour. As I think in my side it is very good opportunity for my career pathway and also thank you very much to give this opportunity to complete it.

I had taken a course similar to Coursera before, but this course was more productive. Because I learned some techniques for psychology and behavioral strategies and the history of behaviorism rather than public health.
