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 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

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.

I recently completed this specialization and will say, it was one of the most interesting and beneficial learning experiences I've had in a long time. The instructors were not only knowledgeable but also engaging. Moreover, the curriculum was structured in a way that allowed me to learn at my own pace and build my knowledge in a logical and comprehensive manner. The interactive elements, such as quizzes and discussion forums, were also very helpful in reinforcing the material and collaborating with other learners.

What's most significant is that the skills and knowledge I gained from this specialization are directly applicable to both my personal and professional life. With the newfound knowledge, I feel confident in my ability to make meaningful contributions and achieve my goals.
