Question

_____ is used to treat fears by training clients in deep muscle relaxation and then having them confront a graduated series of anxiety-producing situations until they can remain relaxed while confronting even the most feared situation.

Answer 1

In Vivo Desensitization

Explanation: Systematic Desensitization can work as well, but it entails practicing relaxation while imaging scenes of the fear-producing stimuli in a gradual way. In Vivo Desensitization is where the person with the phobia would engage in these relaxation techniques as they gradually approach or are gradually exposed to the actual fear-producing stimuli.

Answer 2

That would be Graded Exposure Therapy.
