Systematic desensitisation is based on the theory of

• Social learning

• classical conditioning

• operant conditioning

• social impact

Term is given to the inability to relax and be anxious at the same time?

• graduated exposure

• counter-conditioning

• reciprocal determinism

• reciprocal inhibition

Creates the fear hierarchy

• the therapist

• the client (person with phobia)

• Positive

• Psychodynamic

• Behaviourist

• Psychodynamic

Systematic desensitisation was created by:

SD assumes that if a phobic behaviour has been a learned association between a stimulus and a response then it can be:

• Counter-fractured

• Counter-manipulated

• Counter-conditioned

• Counter-populated

SD relies on the re-association of a feared stimulus with relaxation. This process works on the principle of _____ _______.

• Retroactive inhibition

• Reciprocal inhibition

• Relative deprivation

• Relative relearning

Reciprocal inhibition refers to:

• Not being able to experience three contrasting emotions at the same time.

• Not being able to experience two contrasting emotions at the same time.

• Being able to experience two contrasting emotions at the same time.

• Being able to experience three contrasting emotions at the same time.

Main component - counter conditioning. This refers to:

• Relaxation from relaxation techniques re-associated with feared stimulus.

• Relaxation from stimulating techniques re-associated with feared stimulus.

• Relaxation from combining techniques re-associated with feared stimulus.

• Relaxation from sequential techniques re-associated with feared stimulus.

Desensitisation hierarchy refers to:

• A series of large random steps determined by the therapist at the start of therapy. Least feared to most feared.

• A series of gradual steps determined by the client at the start of therapy. Least feared to most feared.

• A series of gradual steps determined by the client at the start of therapy. Most feared to least feared.

• A series of reversed steps determined by the client at the start of therapy. Least feared to most feared.
