behavioral techniques, such as systematic desensitization and virtual reality exposure therapy ,that treat anxieties by exposing people (in imagination or actual situations) to the things they fear and avoid.

Systematic desensitization

a type of exposure therapy that associates a pleasant, relaxed state with gradually increasing anxiety - triggering stimuli. Commonly used to treat phobias.

Virtual reality exposure therapy

an anxiety treatment that progressively exposes people to electronic simulations of their greatest fears, such as airplane flying, spiders, or public speaking.

Aversive conditioning

a type of counterconditioning that associates an unpleasant state (such as nausea) with an unwanted behavior (such as a drinking alcohol).

an operant conditioning procedure in which people earn a token of some sort for exhibiting a desired behavior and can later exchange the tokens for various privileges or treats.

therapy that teaches people new, more adaptive ways of thinking based on the assumption that thoughts intervene between events and our emotional reactions.

Rational - emotive behavior therapy (REBT)

a confrontational cognitive therapy, developed by Albert Ellis, that vigorously challenges people's illogical, self-defeating attitudes and assumptions.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)

a popular integrative therapy that combines cognitive therapy (changing self-defeating thinking) with behavior therapy (changing behavior).

therapy conducted with groups rather than individuals, permitting therapeutic benefits from group interaction.
