Answer

  • To identify and challenge maladaptive thoughts and replace them with constructive, positive thinking that will lead to healthy behaviour

Question 15

Question
What is the first stage of desensitisation hierarchy?
Answer
  • Therapist and patient construct a desensitisation hierarchy which is a series of imagined scenes ranging from least to the most anxiety provoking
  • Patient is taught some relaxation techniques . Relaxation inhibits anxiety and this is called reciprocal inhibition
  • Patient moves up the hierarchy, at each step mastering total relaxation

Question 16

Question
What is the first stage of desensitisation hierarchy?
Answer
  • Therapist and patient construct a desensitisation hierarchy which is a series of imagined scenes ranging from least to the most anxiety provoking
  • Patient is taught some relaxation techniques . Relaxation inhibits anxiety and this is called reciprocal inhibition
  • Patient moves up the hierarchy, at each step mastering total relaxation

Question 17

Question
What is the second stage of the hierarchy?
Answer
  • Patient moves up the hierarchy, at each step mastering total relaxation
  • Therapist and patient construct a desensitisation hierarchy which is a series of imagined scenes ranging from least to the most anxiety provoking
  • Patient is taught some relaxation techniques . Relaxation inhibits anxiety and this is called reciprocal inhibition

Question 18

Question
What is the third stage of the Desensitisation hierarchy?
Answer
  • Patient gradually works through the desensitisation hierarchy, each time visualising an anxiety provoking scene and at the same time practising relaxation
  • Patient is taught some relaxation techniques . Relaxation inhibits anxiety and this is called reciprocal inhibition
  • Therapist and patient construct a desensitisation hierarchy which is a series of imagined scenes ranging from least to the most anxiety provoking

Question 19

Question
What is the fourth stage of the Desensitisation hierarchy ?
Answer
  • Therapist and patient construct a desensitisation hierarchy which is a series of imagined scenes ranging from least to the most anxiety provoking

  • Patient is taught some relaxation techniques . Relaxation inhibits anxiety and this is called reciprocal inhibition
  • Patient moves up the hierarchy, at each step mastering total relaxation

Question 21

Question
What is the fifth and final stage of Desensitisation hierarchy?
Answer
  • Patient moves up the hierarchy, at each step mastering total relaxation
  • Patient eventually masters the most anxiety provoking scene and thus overcomes their phobia

Question 22

Question
