- Coping with and reducing addictions
- Token Economy
- Operant conditioning- positive reinforcement
- reward given for desirable behaviour, which exchanged for something.
- not actually treating, more social control
- Effective at producing socially desirable behaviour
- Aversion therapy
- Classical conditioning- negative association.
- Given an electric shock or an emetic this is to make the addictive behaviour nom longer enjoyable.
- Unethical but effective at reducing addictive behaviour. High relapse rates
- CBT
- Covert sensitisation-visualise negative images with their behaviour. Idea is that they will associate.
- Imaginal desensitisation- patient is taught relation techniques. Engage in impulse while relaxing. Impulsion and relaxation can not occur at the same time
- very effective and cheap and simple to follow. Direction of causality (thought process or behaviour first). hard to establish a cause and effect
- Token Economy
