N2 - The implications of action theory for understanding psychological disturbances, for the use of therapeutic techniques, and for the analysis of what the therapist is doing in therapy are discussed after a brief presentation of action theory. Actions regulated by higher levels require conscious attention to plan development, decisions, and feedback processing. Many aspects of psychological disturbances can be conceptualized as ineffective actions: unclearly formulated goals, lack of knowledge about general principles of one’s own actions and the actions of others, inadequate strategies, automatization of inadequate actions, insufficient criteria to evaluate feedback, or mistaken perception of that feedback. Adequate mastery of skills, therefore, requires a certain degree of automatization. Behavior change in the face of automaticity is possible, and action theory suggests the factors that are relevant in determining how easy or difficult this change will be.
