• Resumen

  • The purpose of this paper is to analyze current misconceptions widely used to summarily dismiss the behavioral approach in psychotherapy. Five of these myths are described and evaluated. The paper concludes that the misconceptions are based on logical and empirical errors. Tentative explanations are offered to elucidate why these misconceptions are cited as proof of the "irrelevance" of the behavioral approach for Puerto Rican patients.
