Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Blood-injection-injury phobias are unique in that the typical approach of systematic desensitization is not as effective due to the physiological response (i.e. fainting) that often accompanies exposure to the fear stimulus. Applied tension techniques, which involve tensing specific muscles to increase blood pressure and prevent fainting, have been found to be more effective in treating this specific phobia. Modeling and flooding may also not be as effective due to the risk of triggering a fainting response.
