Systematic Desensitization Therapy: A Case Study

118 Words1 Pages
I like that you mentioned the option of using Flooding as a purposed treatment of her phobia versus using Systematic desensitization therapy. Flooding or as you called it Intensive Exposure treatment could work, but she will probably decline that option since it would be very scary for your roommate to experience holding or being in the same room with an actual live spider. If I were to use flooding, I would use a tarantula and have her hold the spider. I would pick a pretty and fuzzy specimen for her to hold, but I truthfully feel that Systematic desensitization therapy is a better option. Therefore, I would have her hold the pretty tarantula at the end of treatment.
