Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Covert sensitization is a technique used in behavior therapy where patients are asked to imagine a negative consequence related to their unwanted behavior in order to decrease their desire to engage in that behavior. In the case of fetishistic behavior, the patient would be asked to imagine a highly aversive consequence (e.g. becoming sick or injured) whenever they have thoughts or feelings related to their fetish. This can help reduce the inappropriate sexual arousal associated with the fetish. Sensate focus, classical conditioning, and sexual retraining are not specifically designed to address fetishistic behavior.
