FLOODING

It's quite common for flooding to form a part of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT).
In the video (right), Prof. Lars-Göran Öst uses exposure therapy to overcome Mariam's fear of snakes, but he also challenges Mariam's false beliefs about what the snake will do when it is released. HIs approach also uses some elements of systematic desensitisation because Mariam is gradually exposed to the snake (although much faster than in SD and with less control on her part). This shows how the different therapies blend together. |
