From the Paper:
"Systematic desensitization is the use of a feared object, slowly over time, to change how someone feels about that object, and this can work with people who have problems like post traumatic stress disorder from their injury. For example, someone afraid of snakes may be taught to get used to hearing the word, then to look at and touch pictures, then to touch the real thing. It is based on a framework of classical conditioning."Behavior modification therapy is the most obvious therapy that takes advantage of operant conditioning principles."
