List one advantage and one disadvantage of systematic desensitization. List one advantage and one disadvantage of in vivo desensitization
What will be an ideal response?
The advantage of systematic desensitization is that it is easier and more convenient for the client to imagine the feared stimulus than to come into actual contact with it. The disadvantage of systematic desensitization is that the results may not fully generalize to the actual fear-producing situation. The advantage of in vivo desensitization is that the client makes actual contact with the feared stimulus, therefore, there is no problem with generalization from imagination to the actual fear situation. A disadvantage of in vivo desensitization is that it is more difficult and possibly more time consuming and costly than systematic desensitization.
