why do u think the programs adopt a cognitive based approach "only" fail in making changes in the behavior?

health education..

I don’t understand what you are asking. Do you believe, or have some evidence that, "cognitive therapies" do not have success unless connected with behavior modification techniques?

That would not be true, since the cognitive approach has been the mainstay of, and by far the most successful treatment method for, the neuroses or personality disorders since first introduced more than a century ago by Dr. Alfred Adler. He was of course followed by Dr. Arnold Lazarus (himself a behavior theorist/therapists with a strong cognitive component), Dr. Albert Ellis, and Dr. Aaron Beck.

Actually, it is the opposite: Behavior modification techniques may work on dogs and cats, but they are merely manipulative with children, and less than useful even with adults WITHOUT the cognitive aspect.
