Describe and evaluate the behavioural approach on the treatment of phobias

It begins with a clear explanation of the theoretical basis of the behavioural approach, rooted in classical conditioning and counterconditioning, before outlining the step-by-step process of SD, including relaxation training, reciprocal inhibition, and the construction of a fear hierarchy.
