Strengths And Limitations Of This Theoretical Approach
1. What are it fundamental ideas?
a. The fundamental ideas of conditioned reflex is that it is a conditioned response to a type of stimuli. Counselors use this therapy to change the behavior of clients to give them a better quality of life.

There is a system desensitization technique that teaches the client to overcome the disruptive behavior, such as anxiety and replace it with a more desired behavior. They teach the clients to use relaxation. Relaxation training produces affects opposite of anxiety by psychological, cognitive, and behavioral. The counselors may choose to use the Jacobson progressive muscle relaxation technique, hypnosis, meditation or yoga.
b. Aversion therapy is another technique that could be used. This technique seems to be used primarily in smoking cessation and overeating. There are two types of aversion therapy, Overt therapy, this one uses medication to create an undesired response to the poor behavior and the other, Covert therapy, uses visual stimuli to create an undesired affect to the bad
