Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. Kali's approach of helping clients list their fears from least to most anxiety provoking and gradually exposing them to each fear is consistent with the principles of systematic desensitization, making option A the correct answer. Aversion therapy is a type of behavior therapy that involves pairing an undesirable behavior with an aversive stimulus to reduce the likelihood of that behavior happening in the future. Flooding involves exposing a person to their most feared situation all at once, which is not consistent with Dr. Kali's approach. Fear therapy is not a specific type of therapy, but a general term that could be applied to many different types of therapy, making it an unclear choice.
