Document Summary

Classical conditioning techniques: we learn to associate two events together, sometimes the associations we learn are maladaptive. 3rd when in a relaxed state you imagine yourself in the least provoking fears and build up. Virtual; reality exposure therapy: aversive conditioning: replace a positive response to a harmful stimulus with a negative or aversive response, only works short term in humans, this is because humans know what actually happened. Operant conditioning: behaviour is controlled by its consequences, eg. Who decides: because of the positive testimonials of clients and therapists cannot prove that therapy is actually, effective psychologists have conducted hundreds of outcome studies of psychotherapy using meta-analysis. Studies of randomized clinical trials indicate that people who remain untreated often improve, but those who receive psychotherapy are more likely to improve, regardless of the kind or duration of therapy. Theory is most effective for this with clear-cut specific problems.
