Question

in a behavioral technique called _________, the client is totally immersed in the sensation of anxiety, rather than being gradually acclimated to the feared situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Flooding.

Explanation:

Flooding is also called the term, implosion therapy and operates by actively exposing the patient to its worst fears. It refers to the practice of first teaching patients self-relaxation techniques and then introducing them explicitly to the fear-evoking stimuli itself. Therefore we can say that it is a type of behavioral therapy that is used to treat people with fear or phobias.

Answer 2

Answer: FLOODING.

Explanation: Flooding in Psychology refers to emotional overwhelm sometimes leading to a primal state of rage or panic.

It is a therapeutic technique used to treat phobias and anxiety disorders.

It works by exposing the patient to their painful memories so that they are able to eventually overcome those phobias.

The advantage of flooding is that it is quick and effective. It works on the principles of classical conditioning or respondent conditioning.
