What is the role of operant conditioning in abnormal behaviour?full explanation

I dont think a consequence cuts it correctly, it is more
incentive or didsincentive.  A consequence could be benign, if I do well in work I get
praise, or more money is incentive, if I do well in work and a flowerpot falls off the
window ledge --how does that affect me?

Also the question
is not clear, behavioural theapy is useful for some disorders, but OC can also be seen
to facilitate and develop abnormal behaviour, which I see as the premis of the question.
If some one behaves in a certain way and gets a reward they may continue to do it.  Such
as secondary gains for sick people. If your sick people care for you, cook, get things,
spend time with you etc stay sick get looked
after.

Chemical imbalances, could be chicken and egg, there
are different patterns for chemicals in the brain when certain disorders are evident but
the evidence is correlational and for some conditions,
weak.
