Based on your understanding of potential learning explanations for PTSD, what is the best way to use these same principles to extinguish the fear responses typical to PTSD patients?
A. Expose patients to the fear-inducing stimuli many times. Although they will show strong, unpleasant fear responses at first, the lack of actual danger on each exposure will eventually cause the fear to be unlearned, and replaced with a non-reaction. B. Expose patients to the fear-inducing stimuli many times. As they become slowly desensitized to the stimuli, give them tangible rewards whenever they show appropriately relaxed responses. The rewards will speed up the desired relaxation response. C. Train patients to avoid the stimuli that cause fear responses in the first place. Give them tools and suggestions to avoid triggering cues, including places or objects, and reward them with praise and social support as they put these ideas into practice. D. First give patients appropriate doses of anti-anxiety medication. Then, expose them to the fear-inducing stimuli many times. The medication will ensure a much weaker baseline fear reaction, and the lack of danger will eventually let them unlearn the stimuli-fear connection.
