Hasty prophecy about a form of behaviour treatment (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

psychotherapy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'treatment' is the definition.
(psychotherapy is a kind of treatment)

'hasty prophecy about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'hasty'+'prophecy'='hastyprophecy'
'hastyprophecy' anagrammed gives 'PSYCHOTHERAPY'.

'a form of behaviour' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for psychotherapy that I've seen before include "Treatment of mental ill" , "Treatment of mental disorders" , "Treatment of mental problems" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
