Covert desensitization involves the patient imagining the fetishistic behaviour and learning to relax and reduce their level of arousal. It is carried out entirely in the patient's imagination and does not involve any physical interaction. Sensate focus is a procedure used in couples therapy to improve sexual intimacy and communication and involves physical touch, so it is not entirely in the patient's imagination. Classical conditioning and sexual retraining also involve actual behavior or physical intervention, so they are not entirely in the patient's imagination either.
