Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Systematic desensitization is a behavioral therapy technique used to treat phobias and anxiety disorders. It involves three main components: relaxation techniques to reduce physical anxiety responses, a graded hierarchy of fears to gradually expose the person to the feared object or situation, and imagination or visualization of anxiety-arousing stimuli while in a relaxed state. Guided participation, which refers to the therapist's involvement in helping the client through the steps of the therapy, is not specifically a part of the systematic desensitization process as defined in its original conception.
