Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kelly's therapist is using a self-control training approach to help her manage her substance use disorder. The therapy involves teaching Kelly strategies such as identifying antecedent cues, developing competing responses, and self-rewarding to substitute for the rewards of drug use. Aversive conditioning involves pairing substance use with unpleasant consequences, covert sensitization involves associating substance use with unpleasant mental images, and social skills training involves teaching individuals communication and problem-solving skills to manage interpersonal situations. None of these approaches are being utilized in this scenario.
