Classical Conditioning
Classical conditioning is also important in therapy, where a negative, aversive stimulus, such as nausea can be applied to facilitate smoking cessation. It’s also the basis of the most effective treatment for specific phobia. For this Assignment, you will write a 2-4 page essay that describes how you would apply classical conditioning to modify behavior. You will use systematic desensitization to rid your client of a specific phobia. Briefly describe your client, identify the specific phobia and the criteria (use DSM 5) that indicate they do have a phobia. Discuss the concept of reciprocal inhibition and how it can be useful in the treatment of anxiety. Explain how you would facilitate this process with your client. Create a detailed fear hierarchy of your client’s phobia-related stimuli and discuss how you developed it. Describe how you would take your client through systematic desensitization. Discuss the best way for your client to remain phobia-free. This paper should be between 2-4 pages in length. A minimum of three resources should be used for the Assignment.
