Kerri is likely in a treatment program based on social skills training, which involves practicing communication and listening skills in structured role-playing exercises, and then applying them in real-life situations. Self-modification involves changing one's behavior through self-monitoring and reinforcement, aversion therapy uses negative stimuli to decrease unwanted behavior, and systematic desensitization is a type of therapy used to treat phobias and anxiety disorders. None of these techniques involve practicing listening skills in a social context.
