nme Chapter 22: Systems, Counselling and Psychotherapy 1,1 Counselling end psychotherapy as social organisatioual activities in psychology it occasionally happens that a particular perspective, or way of organising events, comes into vogue and finds application across a wide variety of specialised areas of psychology. Learning theory is an obvious example of this. Researchers in 2 variety of areas claim learning theory aa the theoreticel framework upon which they have ordered their findings without regard for the evident fact that there is no coherent, onified set of principles which could unequivocally be identified as "lesoning theory". As Weitzman (1967) argued in his analysis of “learning theoxy” (ue it wag then being related to behaviour therapy und peychotherapy}: ‘that which is said to ve “learning theory” amounts to little more than a faw explanatory principles weakly related to each other.
