Homework Answers
Dr. Joseph Wolpe’s Systematic Desensitization Therapy aims at reducing anxiety through relaxation techniques such as meditation. Clients would be asked to list out all that they are afraid of or anxious about. They would be then taught relaxation techniques because the assumption is that one could either be relaxed or anxious not both. Once the clients learn to relax, they would be introduced stimuli such as things, place or people that scare them. One who has learnt to relax would definitely overcome anxiety this forming a new behaviour. This is very similar to the Classical Conditioning.

A researcher tested whether practitioners of "therapeutic touch" (TT; a controversial therapy where the therapist doesn't actually touch the patient, but uses "high energy fields" (HEFs) to help promote healing) could, in fact, detect HEFs. In this experiment, practitioners of this therapy inserted their hands through a barrier so they could not see them. The researcher held his/her hand over either the participant's right or left hand (randomly determined by a coin toss) and the participant was to try and...
