1. Bounton (2007)

This is largely due to that this does not cause the same degree of trauma and involves relaxation techniques. So there are low refusal rates and low attrition (drop out) rates.I. is impossible to be afraid and relaxed at the same time - one emotion prevents the other. This is used in systematic desensitisation.Pointed out that evolutionary factors are not considered in the two-process model but likely have a significant role in phobias.Gilroy et al.
