Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described is systematically pairing fearful phobic images with relaxation, which is known as systematic desensitization. Choice A (progressive desensitization) is not a commonly used therapeutic term. Choice C (systematic training) is not a valid term in relation to desensitization. Choice D (autogenic training) involves self-hypnosis techniques to promote relaxation, but does not involve the pairing of fearful stimuli with relaxation like systematic desensitization.
