Question
Ramesh is admitted to a rehabilitation centre for alcohol addiction. His treatment includes giving him a mild electric shock every time he is made to smell the alcohol. Name and describe the therapy being used.
Solution
Ramesh is being treated using Aversive conditioning. It refers to repeated association of undesired response with an aversive consequence. With repeated pairings of the image of the drug and the pain of the shock, the drug becomes aversive as the pain of the shock is associated with it and the person will give up the drug.
